A package for the gathering, plotting and analysis of astronomical data.

AstroToolkit

AstroToolkit (ATK) is a set of tools for fetching, plotting, and analysing astronomical data.

Features

• A GUI through which most of the package can be utilised
• Command-line integration
• Scripting integration for greater control
• Proper motion correction through Gaia, utilised across the entire package
• Light curve, spectral energy distribution, spectrum and image queries from a wide range of surveys
• Gaia HRD queries for any Gaia sources
• In-built interactive plotting support for all of the above as shareable .html pages that retain all interactivity
• Data queries from any Vizier survey, with many commonly used surveys built-in
• Reddening queries from Stilism and GDRE
• Data analysis tools:
  • Timeseries analysis using a variety of methods (Lomb-Scargle, AOVMHW, ...)
  • Light curve binning, clipping, phase folding and sigma-clipping
  • Image detection and tracer overlays
  • Spectral band highlighting
  • SED-spectrum overlays
  • Data quality filtering (optional)
• Lossless saving and reading of any ATK data structures to / from local files
• Datapage creation, allowing the combination of any of the above into a single page with additional elements specifically designed for this purpose
• No hard coded parameters - built-in configuration support allows the user to personalise the package to their specific needs.
• All data structures are available to the user, allowing them to use all ATK routines on non-ATK data
• Other quality-of-life tools, such as coordinate conversions, .fits file reading and Vizier / SIMBAD searches
