Plot identification charts for Kepler, K2 and TESS.
Project description
tpfi
tpfi
is an easy-to-use visualization tool for astronomers to identify and analyze
stars in the Kepler, K2, and TESS missions. The main focus of this project is on
two functions: plot_identification
and plot_season
. These functions create
plots to help visualize target stars and their surrounding environments.
Plot identification charts for Kepler, K2 and TESS.
The plot_identification
function creates identification charts, which are useful
for determining if a target is contaminated by nearby stars. In each chart, the
right panel displays the target (marked by a cross symbol) and nearby stars. The
circle size indicates their relative brightness. The left panel displays the same
sky coverage but from the DSS2 Red survey.
This function is revised based on tpfplotter.
Plot season charts for Kepler targets.
The plot_season
function creates a plot of the TPF for each season of the Kepler
mission for a given target star. Note that this function is only applicable for
Kepler targets.
