- Learnt about python and unix. I have set up a python development environment on my local machine, and learnt about the unix system for the computing server.
- Wrote a crawler to find the relevant data that's needed to find a light curve from the data on the server. The star to be used is given as an input. The crawler finds all objects within 1 pixel or the sum of variances of the 2 PSFs involved and puts all the data into a file. I used the pickle module for saving the file, but that doesn't seem to preserve all aspects of the data. I'm finding another way to save the data right now. But besides that I think the code is working correctly. I am testing the code for data collected in MD04 in the month of May, 2013.
