This paper describes the design and implementation of Stingray, a library in Python built to perform time series analysis and related tasks on astronomical light curves. Its core functionality comprises a range of Fourier analysis techniques commonly used in spectral-timing analysis, as well as extensions for analyzing pulsar data, simulating data sets, and statistical modeling. Its modular build allows for easy extensions and incorporation of its methods into data analysis workflows and pipelines. We aim for the library to be a platform for the implementation of future spectral-timing techniques. Here, we describe the overall vision and framework, core functionality, extensions, and connections to high-level command-line and graphical interfaces. The code is well-tested, with a test coverage of currently 95%, and is accompanied by extensive API documentation and a set of step-by-step tutorials.

  1. The amplitude of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 4U 1636$-$53 in the frequency-energy space

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The rms amplitude of kHz QPOs in 4U 1636-53 shows a two-dimensional structure in frequency-energy space, with the lower QPO peaking at ~760 Hz and breaking at ~12 keV, and the upper QPO extrapolating to zero at ~1400 Hz.

  2. Phase-resolved QPO Analysis of GX 339-4: Improved Technique and Consistent Behaviors between QPOs and Broadband Noise

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Type-C QPOs and broadband noise in GX 339-4 show consistent phase-resolved spectral behavior, suggesting a shared physical origin and favoring corona oscillation models.

  3. phoptic -- a Python package for reducing astronomical images

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    phoptic provides a single open-source Python pipeline that reduces images from OPTICAM, ULTRACAM, HiPERCAM, and MEXMAN into photometric light curves.

  4. Physically motivated AGN emissivity profiles and their effects on quasar microlensing signatures. 1. Multi-epoch accretion disc size inference

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Interpreting composite disc-plus-BLR emission as a single compact disc systematically overestimates microlensing half-light radii, with the bias set mainly by the BLR flux fraction and the compact-disc emissivity shape.

  5. Discovery and Identification of MAXI J1621-501 as a Type I X-ray Burster with a Super-Orbital Period

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Observations identify MAXI J1621-501 as a neutron-star Type I X-ray burster and find a ~78-day modulation in its light curve, interpreted as a super-orbital disk precession period.
