Astroinformatics I

This repository serves as a centralized collection point for all graded practices and the project presentation submitted as part of the Astroinformatics I course (Semester 1, 2025) at Universidad de Antofagasta. It aims to maintain a well-organized and version-controlled record of all assignments.

Repository Structure

The repository's layout is designed for clarity and maintainability:

• The root directory contains this main README.md file and acts as the entry point for the entire collection of practices.
• Individual graded practices are organized within their own dedicated subdirectories, named /Practice_1/, /Practice_2/, /Practice_3/, and /Practice_4/.
• Each practice subdirectory typically follows a consistent internal structure, containing:
  • /codes/: Houses shell scripts (.sh) and Python scripts (.py) relevant to the practice's tasks.
  • /latex/: Contains the main LaTeX file for the practice (e.g., Practice_X.tex), along with auxiliary files generated during compilation (.aux, .log, .out, etc.).
  • Specific directories like /csv/, /fits/, /lc/, /lightcurves/, /lists/, and /plots/: These are used for input data (such as .csv or .fits files), processed light curve files (.lc), generated plots (.pdf), or intermediate lists, depending on the requirements of each particular practice.
  • Practice_X_Instructions.pdf: The original problem statement or instructions for the specific practice.
  • Practice_X.pdf: The compiled PDF solution for the practice.
• A /Project/ directory is dedicated to the final project presentation, which synthesizes the work from the four graded practices.

Project

The Project directory in this repository is dedicated to the final project presentation for the Astroinformatics I course. This project encapsulates the knowledge and work developed throughout the four graded practices.

Within this folder, you will find:

• The main LaTeX file for the project presentation (e.g., Project.tex).
• Any auxiliary files generated during the LaTeX compilation (e.g., .aux, .log, .pdf output).
• Any figures or supplementary materials specifically created for the final presentation.

Important Notes

Please be aware that the local course directory was restructured during the development of these practices for improved navigation and file access. As a result, all the scripts (.sh and .py) and LaTeX files located in the /Practice_X/ subdirectories have been updated to reflect these changes to prevent compilation errors. However, for transparency, any code presented directly within the LaTeX files in the submitted solutions has not been updated to reflect the modified scripts. This preserves the original practice solutions as they were initially developed and submitted.
