chromatic

The chromatic-lightcurves package is a friendly python tool for working with spectroscopic light curves. Inspired by the lightkurve package, we aim for this tool to provide an easy way interact with datasets representing the brightness of a star as a function of both time and wavelength.

This package defines a spectroscopic light curve object (a Rainbow = 🌈) to provide easy access to wavelength, time, flux, and uncertainty attributes. It allows reading and writing these datasets from/to a variety of formats, simplifies many common calculations, and provides a plethora of visualizations. Read on for quick introductions to how these little 🌈s work!
