Data Set Overview
=================

Imaging data were collected with the Sinistro imagers on the LCOGT 1m
telescope network between 2022-07-31 and 2023-01-27 UTC for measuring
lightcurves of the Didymos system. In total there are 47
"telescope-night" combinations of data (in individual directories),
although not all were usable for measuring lightcurves and determining
mutual event times to the required precision. See the
dart_teleobs:data_lcogtraw overview.txt document for more details on
the Sinistro imagers and filters used.

Raw image data (see data_lcogtraw collection) are calibrated through
two pipelines, the observatory-wide BANZAI pipeline (McCully, C. et al.

Data Set Overview
=================

The photometry of Didymos is measured from the calibrated frames (see
date_lcogtcal collection) using the NEOexchange or PHOTOMETRYPIPELINE
pipelines. Both perform source detection in the images using SExtractor
(Bertin, E and Arnouts, S. 1996. SExtractor: Software for source
extraction. A&AS, 117, 393), astrometric fits to the detected sources
based on the known positions of Gaia DR2 stars in the field using SCAMP
(Bertin, E. 2006. Automatic Astrometric and Photometric Calibration
with SCAMP. ASPC, 351,112), photometrically calibrates the zero point
of the images based on the measured flux of field stars that have known
catalog magnitudes (typically from eithe the PanSTARRS or Gaia-DR2
catalogs), and then using these astrometric and photometric solutions
derives a calibrated magnitude for Didymos. The photometry tables
included in this collection are the output of these pipelines.

although not all were usable for measuring lightcurves and determining

datasets didn't produce usable photometry:
lcogt_1m0_06_fa07_20221231 (from the 1m in Dome B at the ELP site)
lcogt_1m0_08_fa05_20230101 (from the 1m in Dome A at the ELP site)
