Tools for manipulating large datasets of astronomical light curves
lcdata
is a package for manipulating large datasets of astronomical time series. lcdata
is designed to handle very large datasets: it uses a compact internal representation to be able to keep many light curves in memory at the same time. For datasets that are too large to fit in memory, it offers the option of reading them from disks in chunks. lcdata
also contains tools to download different publicly available releases of astronomical time series.
Instructions on how to install and use lcdata
can be found on the lcdata
readthedocs page.
