General workflows and best practices for exoplanet detection and characterization from light curve data. Use when planning an exoplanet analysis pipeline, understanding when to use different methods, or troubleshooting detection issues.
Preprocessing and cleaning techniques for astronomical light curves. Use when preparing light curve data for period analysis, including outlier removal, trend removal, flattening, and handling data quality flags. Works with lightkurve and general time series data.
Lomb-Scargle periodogram for finding periodic signals in unevenly sampled time series data. Use when analyzing light curves, radial velocity data, or any astronomical time series to detect periodic variations. Works for stellar rotation, pulsation, eclipsing binaries, and general periodic phenomena. Based on…
Transit Least Squares (TLS) algorithm for detecting exoplanet transits in light curves. Use when searching for transiting exoplanets specifically, as TLS is more sensitive than Lomb-Scargle for transit-shaped signals. Based on the transitleastsquares Python package.
Cheminformatics toolkit for fine-grained molecular control. SMILES/SDF parsing, descriptors (MW, LogP, TPSA), fingerprints, substructure search, 2D/3D generation, similarity, reactions. For standard workflows with simpler interface, use datamol (wrapper around RDKit). Use rdkit for advanced control, custom…
Test Temporal workflows with pytest, time-skipping, and mocking strategies. Covers unit testing, integration testing, replay testing, and local development setup. Use when implementing Temporal workflow tests or debugging test failures.
Write and evaluate effective Python tests using pytest. Use when writing tests, reviewing test code, debugging test failures, or improving test coverage. Covers test design, fixtures, parameterization, mocking, and async testing.
Master the uv package manager for fast Python dependency management, virtual environments, and modern Python project workflows. Use when setting up Python projects, managing dependencies, or optimizing Python development workflows with uv.
