ARCTIC ERMINE

The ARCTIC Extracting Relative Magnitudes to INvestigate Exoplanets (ERMINE) pipeline is designed to reduce time-series photometry data from the Astrophysical Research Consortium (ARC) Telescope Imagine Camera (ARCTIC) on the ARC 3.5-m Telescope. Data is assumed to have been taking with (1) the use of a diffuser and (2) in multiple band-passes.

Usage example

To run the each component of the pipeline:

python ARCTIC_file.py path/to/your/data 

OR place all pieces of the pipeline in the folder with your data and run with no argument:

python ARCTIC_file.py

Pipeline order is:

1. ARCTIC_imagered.py -- Creates /reduced/cals/ and /reduced/data/ directories, and fills those directories with reduced calibration and science images.
2. ARCTIC_phot.py -- Performs aperture photometry on science images in the /reduced/data/ directory for multiple filters.
3. ARCTIC_mag.py -- Converts raw photometry to instrumental magnitudes.
4. ARCTIC_transit.py --Make various plots of the relative magnitudes, flux versus time, airmass.
