P2OBT: Automated Observation Preparation#

The Phase 2 OB tools (p2obt) have been made to streamline/automate the process of MATISSE observation preparation on p2.

It queries databases, creates either obs as dictionaries or (.obx)-files and can then upload those directly (with or without local creation) to ESO’s P2 environment.

For more information on the specific capabilities of this software see Features.

Note

The p2obt software makes (among others) three main functions directly available to the user:

  • The query function, that gives the user direct information on the target.

  • The create_ob function, which makes singular ob-creation and upload possible.

  • The create_obs function, which has the capability of fully automated night/observation plan parsing and from this ob creation and upload. Alternatively, it also provides the same automated (local (.obx)) creation and upload for manual input.

Quick Installation#
pip install git+https://github.com/Matisse-Consortium/p2obt.git
