stella is a Python package to create and train a neural network to identify stellar flares. Within stella, users can simulate flares as a training set, run a neural network, and feed in their own data to the neural network model. stella returns a probability at each data point that that data point is part of a flare or not. stella can also characterize the flares identified.

To install stella with pip:

pip install stella

Alternatively you can install the current development version of stella:

    git clone https://github.com/afeinstein20/stella
    cd stella
    python setup.py install

If your work discusses the flare rate of young stars in the TESS Southern Hemisphere or the details of the CNNs, please cite Feinstein et al. (AJ, 2020).
