This JWebbinar will focus on performing photometry on JWST NIRCam images using the Photutils package. Photutils is a Python library that provides commonly-used tools and key functionality for detecting and performing photometry of astronomical sources. We will also explore how to use Imviz to visualize images, load catalogs, and perform quick-look aperture photometry on a few objects.
