This is a simple python script that converts tabular cluster data from the Simbad CDS database into rudimentary Hertzsprung-Russell Diagrams.
Use:
- Go to http://cdsportal.u-strasbg.fr and find a cluster that you wish to plot.
- Download the Simbad Tabular Data as a csv.
- Put the file in the same directory as 'HRDiagrammer.py'
- Run HRDiagrammer with Python 3 in the command line with the downloaded csv:
python3 HRDiagrammer.py 'nameOfCsv.csv'
Now in the same directory will be a '.png' image that that is the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram of the cluster data.
Term Project.pdf is the paper going with the project.
