Phtometry reduction and analysis package for the OST observatory

OST Photometry Package

Photometry reduction and analysis package for the OST Observatory of the University of Potsdam.

The package aims to provide easy-to-use data reduction and analysis functionality for photometric observations made with the observatory's telescopes and instruments. It is mainly used in the astrophysics laboratory courses of the university and provides on-the-fly data reduction for the data archive of the observatory. It is designed with these applications in mind.

Requirements

The following Python packages provide the core functionality of this package:

• ccdproc
• photutils
• astropy
• astroquery
• numpy
• scipy
• mathplotlib

For astrometric solutions a local installation of the astronomy.net software is required.

Differential pipeline: calibration epochs

The analysis pipeline’s differential calibration step builds multi-band epoch tables (epoch_000, …) instead of per-image keys such as B_0. See MIGRATION_calibration_epochs.md if you have custom code using older PhotometryCalibrator method names (add_frame, …) or obsolete bridge helpers.
