tvguide

A tool for determining whether stars and galaxies are observable by TESS.

Installation

You can install using pip

p install tvguide --upgrade

or via the github repository

t clone https://github.com/tessgi/tvguide.git
 tvguide
thon setup.py install

The code has been tested in Python 2.7, 3.5, and 3.6.

Usage

Pick your favorite star and have a whirl. I'm a big fan of Alpha Centauri

guide 219.9009 -60.8356

ess! The target may be observable by TESS during Cycle 1.
an observe this source for:
maximum: 2 sectors
minimum: 0 sectors
median:  1 sectors
average: 1.16 sectors

You can also run on a file with targets currently implemented is using RA and Dec.

ad inputfilename.csv

, -60.
 -75.
 0.
 +65

guide-csv inputfilename.csv

ing example-file.csv-tvguide.csv.

ad example-file.csv-tvguide.csv

0000000000, -60.0000000000, 0, 2
000000000, -75.0000000000, 1, 3
000000000, 0.0000000000, 0, 1
000000000, 65.0000000000, 0, 0

This new file appends two additional columns. The number in the first column is the minimum number of sectors the target is observable for and the second is the maximum.

You can also run from within a Python script:

rt tvguide

ide.check_observable(150.00, -60.00)

ide.check_many(ra_array, dec_array)
