🛠️ Usage

Importing TESSify

from TESSify import Project

Creating a Project

a = Project()
a.create("YOUR_PROJECT_NAME")

Restoring a Project

a.restore("YOUR_PROJECT_NAME")

Downloading .fits files in bulk

#You can get bulk downloading scripts from the official TESS archive at `https://archive.stsci.edu/tess/bulk_downloads/bulk_downloads_ffi-tp-lc-dv.html`
#You can download either Target Pixel (tp) or Light Curve (lc) files. After download, copy the path of the file.

from TESSify import Project

a = Project()

a.create("Project1")

a.download("lc", r"C:\Users\Expert\Downloads\tesscurl_sector_89_lc.sh", 100)
#Enter "lc" for lightcurve and "tp" for targetpixel
#Enter the path of the script
#Enter the amount of files to be downloaded

Processing the files in bulk

#After Downloading the files, now its time to process them

from TESSify import Project

a = Project()

a.restore("Project1")

a.process(100)
#Enter the amount of files to process (It cannot be greater than the ones you have downloaded)

Finalising the LightCurves and watching out for Transit Dips

#After you have processed the files, you can see their graphs to see if there are any dips that would indicate the esistence of an exoplanet

from TESSify import Project

a = Project()

a.restore("Project1")

a.finalise(100)
#Enter the amount of files to finalise (It cannot be greater than the ones you have processed)
#This would open a window which you can navigate by:
# "Right Keyboard Button" - Next Slide
# "Left Keyboard Button" - Previous Slide
# "Down Keyboard Button" - Shortlist Slide (If you see something of interest)
# "Escape Button" - Exit Program

Getting the List of the Shortlisted Entities

#After Shortlisting several potential candidates, you might want them in a list format

from TESSify import Project

a = Project()

a.restore("Project1")

finalised_list = a.getresults()
# This returns a list in the TIC + ID format

print(finalised_list)

Saving the Shortlisted Entities as a JSON file

#You want to save the shortlisted entities in a JSON
from TESSify import Project

a = Project()

a.restore("Project1")

filepath = "Your file path"
#Enter the path to your file along with your filename and extension EX:- C:\Users\Expert\Documents\Programming\address.json

a.saveresults(filepath)
