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 overlays the Gaia DR3 catalog onto the TESS Target Pixel Files (TPF)
with the target marked by a cross symbol. The circle size represents the relative
brightness of the stars according to Gaia G magnitude. The left panel displays the
same sky coverage but taken 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.
