Welcome to pYSOVAR’s documentation!

This the the collection of python moduls that we (Katja and Moritz) use for our analysis of the YSOVAR data of those two clusters we are currently working on. While we attempt to write things general and applicable to more datasets, in some cases it’s still very specific to our two clusters. So, don’t be surprised if it does not work out-of-the-box for you, but feel free to try. You find the entire code on https://github.com/YSOVAR/YSOVAR .

First, we show how we process one of our clusters:

• How we process a cluster
  • Reading the data
  • Merging with auxiliary data
  • Calculating properties
  • Make all the pretty plots
  • Write (parts of) a catalog to file

Here is a detailed documentation and API for all modules (possibly incomplete, since we document methods only after we know they work):

• Generate atlas
• Register functions to automatically generate columns in the atlas
  • Example
  • Call signatures for functions
• Plot the atlas
  • Module level variables
  • Plotting functions
• Lomb-Scargle periodograms
• Analyse the timing in the lightcurves
• Distances on the sky
• Generate atlas
