A simple and beautiful package for astronomical flux time series analysis in Python.
Project description
A beautiful package for astronomical flux time series analysis in Python.
The lightkurve Python package offers a beautiful and user-friendly way to analyze astronomical flux time series data, in particular the pixels and lightcurves obtained by NASA’s Kepler, K2, and TESS missions.
This package aims to lower the barrier for both students, astronomers, and citizen scientists interested in analyzing Kepler and TESS space telescope data. It does this by providing high-quality building blocks and tutorials which enable both hand-tailored data analyses and advanced automated pipelines.
