Curvit is an open-source Python package that facilitates the creation of light curves from the data collected by the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard AstroSat, India’s first multi-wavelength astronomical satellite. The input to Curvit is the calibrated events list generated by the UVIT-Payload Operation Center (UVIT-POC) and made available to the principal investigators through the Indian Space Science Data Center. The features of Curvit include: (i) automatically detecting sources and generating light curves for all the detected sources and (ii) custom generation of light curve for any particular source of interest. We present here the capabilities of Curvit and demonstrate its usability on the UVIT observations of the intermediate polar FO Aqr as an example. Curvit is publicly available on GitHub at https://github.com/prajwel/curvit.

Curvit:一个开源 Python 包,用于从 UVIT 数据生成光曲线
Curvit是一个开源 Python 包,可帮助根据印度第一颗多波长天文卫星 AstroSat 上的紫外成像望远镜 (UVIT) 收集的数据创建光曲线。Curvit的输入是由 UVIT-Payload Operation Center (UVIT-POC) 生成的校准事件列表,并通过印度空间科学数据中心提供给主要研究人员。Curvit的功能包括:(i) 自动检测光源并为所有检测到的光源生成光变曲线和 (ii) 为任何特定感兴趣的光源自定义生成光变曲线。我们在此展示 Curvit的功能并以中间极地 FO Aqr 的 UVIT 观测为例证明其可用性。Curvit可在 GitHub 上公开获取,网址为 https://github.com/prajwel/curvit。
