Possible project to have a maintained spline representation of streams #5

Open psferguson opened 9 months ago

psferguson commented 9 months ago

In PR4 the following came up From alex about spline data representation:

Is this a "standard" format that was defined by someone else, or are we making up our own format? It is best if we can directly interface with existing data in some package someone else maintains (i.e., galstreams), but I'm not sure they have spline representations. This is not something to change for this PR, just something to think about (maybe a summer student project).

My response:

Looks like I grabbed the data from: https://github.com/jmpatric-cmu/Uniform-Modelling-Thirteen-Streams and combined 4 fits files into 1 csv. I agree this is not a great long term solution, but it is the same format that denis/sergey used. I think this is a great idea for a subproject.
