TESS Proposal Tool

Under development tool to help create TESS proposals and target lists.

Use Case 1: Filling in missing TICs in a target list

If you have a list of RAs, Decs, and optionally TESS magnitudes and you would like to crossmatch them against TIC, you can do this with the tessproposaltool. You can do this from the command line using:

tpt radec_file.csv -o output.csv

Which will result in a file output.csv that contains the corrected RA, Dec, TESS magnitude and TIC numbers.

Your file should have a structure that contains RAs, Decs, and optionally TESS magnitudes, e.g.:

ra,dec,tmag
40.2986,56.7305,9.39
110.093,-22.2673,13.51
116.243,-30.0918,9.5
152.633,-59.3549,10.05
163.437,-58.4871,9.91
165.091,-60.7688,12.974

To do this inside Python you can use

from tessproposaltool import fill_tics

# read in your radecs, or convert them into a pandas dataframe
RA, Dec, Tmag = ..., ..., ...
df = pd.DataFrame(np.asarray([RA, Dec, Tmag]).T, columns=['ra', 'dec', 'tmag'])
new_df = fill_tics(df)
