Crowd-sourced discovery of gravitational lenses. We are a Zooniverse project, which launched in Spring 2013 at http://spacewarps.org. This repository contains code and documentation being developed by the science team. The simulated lenses used in the training sample are created with SIMCT
Training webpages are visible (but pretty old at this point) here.
The web app itself is being developed here as part of the Zooniverse project. If you are interested in building a site like Space Warps using Zooniverse techology, keep an eye on their website or drop them a line.

All our code is free to re-use under the GPL v2 license, which just means you have to make yours available in the same way. If you make use of any of it in your research, please cite us at this website, and as Marshall et al, (2015). Please do get in touch though - it would be great to collaborate on improving the SWAP analysis, for example!
