Data Mining

Does anyone know how to access Gaia DR2 or EDR3 time series data for an individual star via a GUI interface?

Internet searches have so far not helped me.

Finding the offending eclipsing binary - A data-mining project

I ran across an interesting source of TESS data.  See

and their earlier paper

At least for my implementation of Excel: If you download a csv file from, say, SuperWasp, make sure you capture all significant digits before converting. That is how I managed to truncate my V1183Her times.

I am working through a download of SuperWasp data for an eclipsing binary (V1183 Her). Some of the data are suitable for calculating times of minima. However, I am also finding observations that have the same HJD, as shown below. (HJD, mag, error)

Hello Everyone,

For those of you wishing to data mine light curves from the TESS, K2, and Kepler missions, you might want to consider using LcTools, a large-scale Windows based software system for viewing and analyzing light curves. The system is optimized for processing large numbers of light curves in a fast and efficient manner to facilitate data mining activities.

The LcTools system consists of four major applications -- LcGenerator, LcSignalFinder, LcViewer, and LcReporter.
