This repository contains software that does three things related to point source:

  • Image viewer with:
    • Overlay catalog
    • Show photometry settings
    • Choose photometry settings
    • Adjust settings based on seeing
  • Perform photometry in python
    • Use sep and/or photutils to do the actual low-level photometry.
    • Given a list of sources in one image, match that list across several images.
    • Implement a way to a find good comparison stars. (see lemon and oscaar)
    • Perform differential photometry (several methods of doing this, e.g. Howell, )
    • Good way to visualize multiple nights of data.
  • Period finding/variable type identification
    • Lomb-Scargle (gatspy)
    • Model-fitting of data (pre-whitening, etc)
    • Maybe identify type of variable? (upsilon)
