Outputs

PREFACE writes all generated files to the directory specified by OutputConfigurations.output_folder. Outputs are organized across two processing phases:

output_folder/
├── phase_1/
│   ├── nonviable_target_list/
│   └── viable_target_list/
└── phase_2/
    ├── cumulative_observability_scores/
    ├── full_ranked_event_list/

    └── individual_planets/

Phase One

Phase One selects the most promising planetary candidates for transmission spectroscopy from catalogues, ranking them proportionally to expected data signal-to-noise ratio.

Directory

Contents

nonviable_target_list/

Targets with metric values below the viable_cumulative_cut threshold.

viable_target_list/

Targets retained after applying the cumulative ranking cutoff, carried forward to Phase Two.


Phase Two

Phase Two determines the best exoplanet observation dates from predicted transits at the selected telescope location.

Directory

Contents

cumulative_observability_scores/

Observability score accumulated from all transits per planet.

full_ranked_event_list/

Complete ranked list of individual observable transit events.

graphs/

Diagnostic plots for each transit (when toggle_graph_outputs=True).

individual_planets/

Per-planet computed transits and their individual scores.
