phot2lc

phot2lc is a pure-Python interactive tool for extracting light curves from time-series photometric data.

phot2lc is largely inspired by WQED (Thompson & Mullally 2009, 2013), and is currently designed to work with the photometric outputs from MAESTRO (Dalessio 2010, 2013), ccd_hsp (Kanaan et al. 2002), ULTRACAM (Dhillon et al. 2007), and HiPERCAM (Dhillon et al. 2021).
