Inputs to extrabol must be .dat files that conform to the following format.
The first two lines must contain redshift and Milky Way extinction E(b-v) respectively. If these values are unknown, simply put 0.0. The following lines contain observational data in 5 columns:
- Time(MJD)
- Apparent Magnitude
- Error(in magnitudes)
- Filter SVO ID
- Type of magnitude (AB or Vega)
Any white space can be used as the column delimiter. NaNs, non-detections, and data points with no error bars should not be included. An example input file can be found under extrabol/example
