Bulk Download

For users interested in downloading de-trended light curves in bulk, tarballs for each campaign are available on MAST. If you then wish to interact with these light curves using the user interface, untar the light curves and place them in the directory

~/.everest2/k2/

organized by campaign and sub-campaign following the same directory structure as on MAST. For instance, the fits and pdf files for the campaign 1 star EPIC 201367065 should be placed in

~/.everest2/k2/c01/201300000/67065/

Then, you can load the cached light curve in Python by running

import everest
star = everest.Everest(201367065)

Note

You can change the directory everest searches in by setting the $EVEREST2_DATA_DIR environment variable. everest will then search for EPIC 201367065 (for example) in

$EVEREST2_DATA_DIR/k2/c01/201300000/67065/
