MuSCAT + LCOGT Data Analysis & Scheduling Pipeline
Welcome to MuSCAT-db, the central astronomical data platform for target database, automated multi-color exoplanet photometry with prose2, transit fitting with timer, ephemeris and transit timing variation (TTV) analysis with harmonic, LCO observation window scheduling, and field-of-view optimization. For details, see the pipeline guide.
Target Catalog
Database cross-matched via SIMBAD and local archives with dataset counts.
Photometry
Automated multi-band light curve reduction & aperture extraction with
prose2.
Transit Fitting
MCMC light curve transit parameter estimation powered by
timer.
Ephemeris & TTV
Transit Timing Variation modeling and ephemeris calculation with
harmonic.
LCOGT Schedule
Live visibility windows, proposal requests, and LCOGT telescope scheduling.
FOV Optimizer
Interactive field-of-view finder for target orientation & comparison stars.
Global Telescope Network Status
Live weather is unavailable in this static snapshot.
