toco

I wanted a way to quickly see some info about a star based on it's TICID, so I made this tool.

Maybe someone else will find it useful

pip install ticinfo

to use

% toco 441420236

    ID        ra       dec     pmRA  pmDEC    eclong     eclat    Tmag Vmag Kmag Teff   rad      mass     d
--------- ---------- -------- ------ ------ ---------- ---------- ---- ---- ---- ---- -------- -------- ------

if you have a star you think might be in Simbad, you can do this

% toco 441420236

    ID        ra       dec     pmRA  pmDEC    eclong     eclat    Tmag Vmag Kmag Teff   rad      mass     d

Target name: V* AU Mic
The target is in constellation Microscopium

if you just have coordiantes you can use

% toco 311.289718 -31.3409
    ID        ra       dec     pmRA  pmDEC    eclong     eclat    Tmag Vmag Kmag Teff   rad      mass     d

Target name: V* AU Mic
The target is in constellation Microscopium

or, if you know the name of the source you can use

% toco au mic
     ID        ra       dec     pmRA  pmDEC    eclong     eclat    Tmag Vmag Kmag Teff   rad      mass     d

Finding whether data is in the archive

You are able to find out whether there is TESS data available in the archive for any target by using the --showdata flag, or -s for short.
