Code to detect a mock NEO #5

Open liamb27 opened 7 months ago

liamb27 commented 7 months ago

Write code that takes simulated Rubin data and detects any moving objects.

Criteria for detection:

  1. 4 observations
  2. Occur within 90 minutes of each other
  3. Occur within one night
  4. Of object with consistent magnitude
  5. Lie along a line

Task Steps:

  1. Get simulated observations (rubin_sim)
  2. Write the code :)

Take list of object detections from Sorcha (https://sorcha.readthedocs.io/en/latest/outputs.html) --> check where in that list there are detections that satisfy detection criterion.
