Main-Sequence-Variability

The main file is the Main_Sequence_Variability.ipynb notebook. It has several examples

• overview of the autocorrelation functions and its connection with the parameters of the power spectrum density (high-frequency slope and timescale of the break)
• overview of the analytical results of the measured width of the Main Sequence, as a function of the parameters of the power spectrum density
• Figure 6 from the paper, showing the relation between the intrinsic Main Sequence and measured Main Sequence, in a toy model
• Analytical result for the Figure 7 from the manuscript, showing how we recover the parameters of the PSD from observations, in a toy model.

Dependencies are pandas, tqdm and DELCgen (https://github.com/samconnolly/DELightcurveSimulation).
