Alert:

 

The CyVerse App Store is currently being restructured, and apps are being moved to an HPC environment. During this transition, users may occasionally be unable to locate or use apps that are listed in our tutorials. In many cases, these apps can be located by searching them using the search bar at the top of the Apps window in the DE. To increase the chance for search success, try not searching the entire app name and version number but only the portion that refers to the app's function or origin (e.g. 'SOAPdenovo' instead of 'SOAPdenovo-Trans 1.01').

Also, as part of the 2.8 app categorization, a number of apps were deprecated and are no longer available, and there is no longer an Archive category. You can search for a suitable replacement in the List of Applications in this window, or search on an app name or tool used for an app in the Apps window search field. If you need an app reinstated, please contact support@cyverse.org.

The DE Quick Start tutorial provides an introduction to basic DE functionality and navigation.

Please work through the documentation and add your comments on the bottom of this page, or email comments to support@cyverse.org. Thank you.


The Photometry Pipeline (PP) is a Python software package for automated photometric analysis of imaging data from small to medium-sized observatories. It uses Source Extractor and SCAMP to register and photometrically calibrate images based on catalogs that are available online; photometry is measured using Source Extractor aperture photometry. PP has been designed for asteroid observations, but can be used with any kind of imaging data


Pre-Requisites

  1. A CyVerse account. (Register for an CyVerse account here - user.cyverse.org)
  2. Mandatory arguments 
    1. Input - One or more image files

Test/sample data

The following test data are provided for testing HISAT2 in here - /iplant/home/shared/iplantcollaborative/example_data/photometry_pipeline:

  1. mscience0217.fits
  2. mscience0218.fits

Results 

Upon successful execution, the Photometry_pipeline-v1.0 derives the calibrated photometry for the target that it finds in the OBJECT header keyword, as well as one rather bright ‘control star’ that is used to check the consistency of the photometric calibration.
