EclipsingBinaries is a Python project for faster analysis of eclipsing binary star systems. The package can currently reduce data, find comparison stars from the APASS catalog, calculate and plot O-C values, find the color index and effective temperature, O'Connell effect parameters, and download TESS data and calculate TESS magnitudes from Gaia data.
You can find the documentation at this site and any questions can be talked about in the discussions page or in an issue.
The list of OS's and Python versions listed below have been tested to be able to build the package on.
- Macos- 3.8, 3.9, 3.10
- Ubuntu- 3.8, 3.9, 3.10
- Windows- 3.8, 3.9, 3.10
To install type the following,
pip install EclipsingBinaries
Once installed, in the command line type the following:
EclipsingBinaries
This will run the menu.py file and will initiate all other programs for usage.
Once installed using pip, you can just go to a command line and type EclipsingBinaries to start the program each time.
To check the version you have,
pip show EclipsingBinaries
this will show numerous things, but you want to look at the version and make sure it is up to date.
If your version is not the most recent version then in order to update type the following,
pip install --upgrade EclipsingBinaries
To use the pipeline functionality type the following:
EB_pipeline -h
This will print out all the options that are available to edit and change. The -i and the -o are required for the script to run. Otherwise, the script will crash.
