Contributed Ampel units from HU/DESY group

Installing

Install poetry.
Configure poetry to create virtualenvs in the project: poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true. This makes it easier to work with IDEs like VSCode.
git clone https://github.com/AmpelProject/Ampel-HU-astro.git; cd Ampel-HU-astro
Check your virtualenv setup with poetry env info. The output should include:
```
Virtualenv
Python:         3.12.x
```
If not, point poetry at an installation of Python >=3.12 with e.g. poetry env use python3.12 (assuming that python3.12 is in your PATH)
poetry install -E "ztf sncosmo extcats" --with notebook
cd notebooks
poetry run jupyter notebook

This will allow a number of Demo / access / development notebooks to be run. Note that most of them requires an access token if data is to be retrieved.

Pitfalls

lightgbm expects to find OpenMP on your system. If you see an error message like OSError: libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, you will need to install OpenMP with e.g. brew install libomp (macOS) or apt-get install libgomp1 (Ubuntu).
to install with parsnip support, `poetry install -E "elasticc" --with notebook
