PyKE v3.1.0
PyKE v3.1.0 is the first version to provide an easy Python API to interact with target pixel files and light curve files, i.e. it adds the LightCurve
, KeplerLightCurve
, KeplerLightCurveFile
, and KeplerTargetPixelFile
classes. In addition, the PRF photometry tools were refactored into a more flexible interface, and a new implementation of the Self-Flat-Fielding systemats correction algorithm (SFFCorrector
class) was added.
While preparing this release, the team decided to move the Python API to a dedicated standalone package called lightkurve
(https://github.com/KeplerGO/lightkurve). Thus, users should expect the new API to be removed in v3.2.0 in favor of a dependency on the new lightkurve
package. The long-term plan is for PyKE to become the command-line interface to lightkurve
.
