New tutorial to calculate radial velocity from multiple measurements

Open alexbinks opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

This tutorial is designed to assess the multiplicity status of a star and calculate a "final" radial velocity for stars when there are several (> 2) individual measurements. Whilst intended for RV measurements, the method can be applied for any parameter that needs to be weighted from different sources. Principally the program:

  1. reads in a table of RV measurements for any set of stars
  2. makes a decision on whether the star is multiple or likely single
  3. calculates a final RV from the individual measurements.

Thanks for contributing! This looks interesting, but I think you might want to see if the indexing logic can be simplified a bit. At least I don't understand it - but maybe that's just because I don't know that much about the topic.

This looks really promising! Thanks so much for the contribution and we'll work on giving it a robust review ASAP. I'm also going to start a thread in the #learn channel on slack.
