Flux vs Time

Display flux as a function of time for one or more light curves.

Overview

The Flux vs Time viewer (registry name lcviz-time-viewer) is lcviz’s primary viewer for exploring light curve data. It displays flux (or any chosen flux column) on the y-axis against time on the x-axis, with full support for zooming, panning, subset selection, and slice indicators for linked TPF cube views.

Multiple light curves can be overlaid in the same viewer. Additional Flux vs Time viewers can be created via the Viewer Creator controls in jdaviz.
