XID+, The Probabilistic De-blender for confusion dominated maps

XID+ is a core tool arising from the Herschel Extragalactic Legacy Project (HELP). For more information on XID+, have a look at Hurley et al. 2017.

It is being actively developed in a public repository on GitHub so if you have any trouble, open an issue there.
