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.
This release (1.2.0) includes catalogs tycho_2mass_wise-XMATCH-POS.csv (full catalog), RandSample+1000.csv, RandSample+2000.csv, and tam_cat_sample.csv. Pre-downloaded images from tam_cat_sample.csv are available for your convenience in FITS/Tam/. All other catalogs must first have images downloaded to be useful.
Dependent on scikit-image (skimage), matplotlib, numpy, and astropy.
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
Run Guidelines:
Command line: (in exoCode containing directory)
cd exoCode
python dataGen.py
In python:
from exoCode import dataGen
New Graphical Interface
run application
select desired catalog
follow prompts to gather data, flip through indices, display images
can be run using $ ./GUI.sh in containing directory
alternatively, use $ python GUI.py
