gauss_fit_peak

tessilator.lc_analysis.gauss_fit_peak(period, power)[source]

Applies the Gaussian fit to the periodogram. If there are more than 3 data points (i.e., more data points than fixed parameters), the “gauss_fit” module is used to return the fit parameters. If there are 3 or less points, the maximum peak is located and 9 data points are interpolated between the 2 neighbouring data points of the maximum peak, and the “gauss_fit” module is applied.

Parameters:
periodIterable

The period values around the peak.

powerIterable

The power values around the peak.

Returns:
poptlist

The best-fit Gaussian parameters: A, B and C where A is the amplitude, B is the mean and C is the uncertainty.
