Yields the struct for appropriately parsing the raw Bayer table, used by sonic.Hipparcos.parseTable()

Outputs:

  • bayer_parse_targs (nx1 struct): a struct array, where each entry indicates a column to select and a desired name for each column

static parseData(hip_db_path, bayer_db_path, save_loc)

Load the raw Hipparcos catalog and the associated Bayer lookup tables, parse and combine them, and save it to the specified location.

Inputs:

  • hip_db_path (char): Path to Hipparcos catalog

  • bayer_db_path (char): Path to Bayer catalog

  • save_loc (char): Path to save processed datafile

static parseTable(raw_tab, parse_targs)

Given a table, extracts only the columns of interest and renames them as specified.

Inputs:

  • raw_tab (table): an arbitrary table

  • parse_targs (1xn struct): a struct array, where each entry indicates a column to select and a desired name for each column
