Astronomy units for the Ampel system from HU-Berlin

AMPEL-HU-astro

Contributed Ampel units from HU/DESY group

Installing

1. Install poetry. If you install poetry with conda, be sure to install it in its own environment, e.g. conda create -n poetry.
2. git clone https://github.com/AmpelProject/Ampel-HU-astro.git; cd Ampel-HU-astro
3. Check your virtualenv setup with poetry env info (or conda run -n poetry poetry env info if using conda). The output should include:

   Virtualenv
   Python:         3.10.x
   

   If not, point poetry at an installation of Python 3.10 with (conda run -n poetry) poetry env use PATH_TO_PYTHON_310
4. (conda run -n poetry) poetry install -E "ztf sncosmo extcats notebook"
5. cd notebooks
6. (conda run -n poetry) 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.

Provided units

T0 units (alert filters):

• LensedTransientFilter
