BHTOM-scripts

This project automates the process of preparing, filtering and uploading astronomical data from ROTUZ to the BHTOM system.

How it works

The core logic is handled by main.py. You pass the path to a folder containing the data you want to process. The script then performs the following operations:

1. Unpacking
   All .gz files in the specified directory are automatically unzipped [unzip_files.sh].

2. File Processing
   Each file is processed individually:

   • The script checks whether any astronomical objects are detected in the image [stars_detection.py].
   • The photometric filter is extracted from the filename [filter.py].
   • If the object name from the .fits file differs from the name used on BHTOM, it is mapped to the correct version [stars_detection.py].
   • A log entry is created, including a timestamp, object name, filename and detection status [logs.py].

3. Uploading to BHTOM
   If the file contains detectable objects, it is sent to the BHTOM system via the API [upload_files.py].
