Attempting to bring some sanity to this and see if I can still make it work. Tread carefully, there is some seriously terrible code here
This was a pain in the arse. Eventually I used Anaconda which seemed to be the only decent way to get gala to work on Windows. Need to make sure env variables are up to date with the python executable in the anaconda directory, not the Python directory, and also add one for anaconda3\Library\bin (numpy/numpy#14770), otherwise numpy poos itself on import. Idk why. Conda install numpy, astropy, gala in order seemed to work then.
If numpy is installed already by pip, it can screw with trying to install it again with Anaconda, so make sure no trace remains.
My MPhys project!!!
Update 3/1/19: uploaded mega_orbit_fit.py - the mcmc fitting script. Input data is sgr_input_data.npy and vc_rh_arrays_log.npy
actual_scripts/SUPERAUTOPHOTOMETRY (it's exciting ok) is the main aperture photometry notebook, including the star finding code. Will update soon with more comments.
megasheet is a csv table of (among other things): CSS IDs Gaia IDs Co-ordinates from Gaia Proper motions and parallaxes from Gaia, with errors Periods, V-band extinctions and distances (for comparison) from Drake Will update with other things as they come, such as metallicities, my calculated magnitudes and distances... My code refers extensively to this sheet, as well as to the Spitzer data itself
Also in the python_expts folder is all of the messing around with Python I've done in the last couple of weeks including photutils and astropy things
