TessTargetFile#

class stellarphot.io.TessTargetFile(coord: SkyCoord, magnitude: float, depth: float, file: str = '')[source]#

A class to hold information about a TESS target file. It will retrieve all GAIA EDR3 sources within 2.5 arcminutes of the target using the online service at: https://www.astro.louisville.edu/gaia_to_aij/index.html

Parameters:

coordastropy.coordinates.SkyCoord: The coordinates of the target.
magnitudefloat: The magnitude of the target.
depthfloat: The depth of the transit.
filestr, optional: The path to a file that will be written containing the GAIA sources within 2.5 arcminutes the TESS target. If not provided, a temporary file will be created.

Attributes:

aperture_serverstr: The URL of the aperture server.
coordastropy.coordinates.SkyCoord: The coordinates of the target.
depthfloat: The depth of the transit.
filestr: The path to the file to create with the downloaded GAIA data. If not provided, a temporary file will be created.
magnitudefloat: The magnitude of the target.
tableastropy.table.Table: A table of targets read in from target_file.
target_filestr: The path to the target file.
target_tableastropy.table.Table: The target table.
