AI Thread Summary
To combine two FITS images in Python using Astropy, users should first familiarize themselves with how to open and load FITS files, as outlined in the Astropy tutorials. Once the data is loaded, various array manipulations can be performed to combine the images effectively. For homework-related inquiries, it's recommended to post in the designated "Homework" section for more tailored assistance.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know how I can combine two FITS images (which are continuum maps of two sources) in python using astropy.

Hello mahya

If this is a homework question it should be posted in "Homework" section.

In any case, take a look here at http://www.astropy.org/astropy-tutorials/FITS-images.html. Knowing how to open FITS files and load data you then can do various manipulations using arrays.
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
