This post intends to capture the list of tutorials we'd like to add to PyKE. Ideally, the tutorials would form a nice continuous story.This list is intended to be revised continuously. To make changes to this list, either comment below or edit this post.

Kepler/K2 basics

Data products

[ ] How to access Kepler and K2 data?
[ ] What is a Target Pixel File (TPF)?
[ ] What is a Lightcurve file (LLC)?
[ ] What is a Full Frame Image (FFI)?
[ ] What other data products do the archives provide?

Working with pixel data
