Code for automated detection of comets in light curve files.
Requires Python 3 (tested in 3.5). Uses Numpy, Scipy, Astropy and Matplotlib libraries, and a working Cython install.
Install by running:
git clone https://github.com/greghope667/comet_project
cd comet_project
./make
These scripts runs on light curve files, which can be obtained from MAST.
single_analysis.py runs on a single file, for example:
wget https://archive.stsci.edu/missions/kepler/lightcurves/0035/003542116/kplr003542116-2012088054726_llc.fits
./single_analysis.py kplr003542116-2012088054726_llc.fits
batch_analyse.py runs on directories of files, outputting results to a text file with one row per file. archive_analyse.sh is a bash script for processing compressed archives of light curve files, extracting them temporarily to a directory. Both these scripts have multiple options (number of threads, output file location ...), run with help flag (-h) for more details.
https://github.com/greghope667/comet_project_results contains a description of the output table format produced by this code, as well as the output when run on the entire Kepler dataset.
