LAURA

LAURA (Lets Analysis,Use and Report of Asteroseismology)is written in Python 3 with 5 different packages to: download,reduce and analyze raw light curves under the Asterosismology theory.

The code uses an object oriented approach and canbe easily use even for non-experts in program language. All the additional python packages that we use are free and easy to install using the pip package. Our code is summarized in only 2 files:LAURA_master.pyandLAURA_aux.py. From the LAURA_master.pyfile, the user can do all steps to download, reduce and analize the light curve.
