lightkurve.io.cdips.read_cdips_lightcurve#

lightkurve.io.cdips.read_cdips_lightcurve(filename, flux_column='IRM1', include_inst_errs=False, quality_bitmask=None)[source]#

Returns a TESS CDIPS LightCurve.

Note: CDIPS light curves have already had quality filtering applied, and do not provide the bitflags necessary for a user to apply a new bitmask. Therefore, frames corresponding to “momentum dumps and coarse point modes” are removed according to Bouma et al. 2019, and no other quality filtering is allowed. The quality_bitmask parameter is ignored but accepted for compatibility with other data format readers.
