scripts

Loose collection of scripts for astronomy research.

  1. besancon_model/besancon_gaia_dr2.py

    The output of python besancon_model/besancon_gaia_dr2.py --help is shown below:

     This Script downloads a besancon model including include_kinematics using the
 astroquery interface. Gaia DR2 parallax and proper motion sky-averaged
 uncertainties are derived using pygaia. Random errors corresponding to Gaia
 DR2 expectations can be added to the parallaxes and distances of the model
 output.
 
 positional arguments:
   email                 Your valid email address.
 
 optional arguments:
   -h, --help            show this help message and exit
   --ra_deg RA_DEG       RA in degrees
   --dec_deg DEC_DEG     Dec in degrees
   --field_size_squaredegree FIELD_SIZE_SQUAREDEGREE
                         Field size in squaredegrees.
   --data_dir DATA_DIR   Path to directory for table saving
   --overwrite OVERWRITE
                         Overwrite download from besancon server.
   --add_random_gaia_errors ADD_RANDOM_GAIA_ERRORS
                         Add random errors to parallax and PM assuming Gaia DR2
                         performances.
   --random_seed RANDOM_SEED
                         numpy random seed for error simulation. Allows for
                         repeatability.
