Automation of debris disk detection
Project description
ExoCode
Generates .csv files including data on the existence of various features of interest from the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS), 2-micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) image catalogs. The goal is to use the data to identify candidates that might have circumstellar debris disks.
TO USE:
Use dataAcq.py to retrieve the images for one of the provided catalogs in Catalogs/
You can also use one of your own, provided the format remains the same: ra,dec (degrees)
Data included for tam_cat_sample.csv catalog under FITS/TAM/
Use dataGen.py to run analysis on the downloaded images and output the results to a new .csv
You should only have to touch the offset code at the top of each program (denoted ‘EDITABLE’) to accomplish your analysis
Run Guidelines:
Assumes data_container variables in each script are equivalent
Command line: (in exoCode containing directory)
cd exoCode
python dataAcq.py
python dataGen.py
In python:
from exoCode import dataAcq
from exoCode import dataGen
