Plotting ZTF Lightcurves from AVRO Packet

Here is the gist for the script and an example AVRO packet.

To generate a lightcurve from the AVRO alert packet for the ZTF object run the plot_ztf_lightcurve_from_avro.py script with the following usage:

python plot_ztf_lightcurve_from_avro [-o] <avrofile>

Distribution of number of candidates that go into making ZTF objects

In ZTF speak a candidate is a single detection and an object is a collection of associated candidates. I wanted to visualise (see plot above) the distribution of the number of candidates (ncand) that go into making a ZTF object.

To generate the CANDIDATE table distribution data in candidate_ncand_dist.csv I run the following query on Lasair (April 8, 2020):

Parsing VOEvents Streamed from the Ligo-Virgo GCN Feed

Here you will find VOEvent packet examples for the 4 types of LV event alerts:

1. Preliminary GCN Notice. The automated preliminary notice is sent (via GCN) within 1-10 minutes of event detection and the trigger visible in GraceDB. Once a map has been generated a second preliminary notice is sent.

2. Initial GCN Notices. A source classification (BNS, NSBH, BHBH ..) and updated skymap will be released within 4-24 hrs. The initial notice is also accompanied by a GCN Circular which is the first formal publication of the candidate and can be cited as such.
