Obtaining Transit Spectrum for Celestial Bodies Using JWST NIRSPEC

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around obtaining transit spectrum data for celestial bodies such as Ceres, Enceladus, Ganymede, Io, and Titan using a specific Github package. Participants are seeking guidance on how to effectively utilize this package and explore alternative methods for data collection, with the aim of comparing these spectra to that of Earth.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in using the Github package for transit spectrum data collection and requests step-by-step instructions or resources.
  • Another participant references a related discussion on best practices for using Git and Github, suggesting it may be relevant to the current issue.
  • A third participant indicates they do not have the information requested but wishes the original poster good luck.
  • A participant mentions another user who may have relevant information regarding data from the JWST.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus, as participants express varying levels of knowledge and assistance regarding the use of the Github package and alternative methods for obtaining transit spectra.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided specific solutions or corrections to the original poster's challenges, and there is uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of the suggested resources.

TL;DR
Seeking help with obtaining transit spectra for Ceres, Enceladus, Ganymede, Io, and Titan. Struggling with Github package usage. Any advice or alternative methods appreciated. Excited to compare with Earth's spectrum.
I've recently been tasked with obtaining transit spectrum data for some fascinating celestial bodies, including Ceres, Enceladus, Ganymede, Io, and Titan. The goal is to compare their transit spectra with that of Earth. However, I'm facing a bit of a challenge when it comes to using the Github package here: https://github.com/nespinoza/transitspectroscopy

To provide some context, I've received instructions to utilize the Github package to gather the transit spectrum data. However, I'm not very familiar with how to effectively use it for this purpose. Despite my best efforts, I haven't been able to navigate the package successfully to retrieve the transit spectrum data that I need.

If any of you have experience with the Github package or if you know of alternative methods to obtain transit spectrum data for these celestial bodies, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Perhaps you can share some step-by-step instructions or valuable resources that could help me get started.

Moreover, if there are any other tools or platforms that you've found helpful for collecting transit spectrum data, I'd be open to exploring those options as well.

If it would help, here are the links to the files of the celestial objects that I'm supposed to compare their transit spectra against Earth's:
Io, Ceres, Titan, Enceladus, Ganymede1, Ganymede2

Also @Andy Resnick may have a pointer?
 
I don't, sorry.... good luck!

@Devin-M has posted on Webb from what looked like a data site. Can you help?
