There are literally millions of light curves that contain interesting
(non extrasolar planet) science that have never been looked at. To
find out more about how the project works have a look at the main
project webpage.

Hi Mike,

Thank you very much for this very interesting information.

On the other hand, I have troubles reading the light curve data. I've been trying to open some LC FITS files but none of them can be opened using any of my FITS processing packages (Mira, API4WIN, CCDStack). I get some error messages (dealing with the FITS format).

How can I open those files? Which kind of data is suppose to include a LC FITS file?

Regards.
Pedro

Hi Pedro,

A great tool for this is TOPCAT, available for free at:
http://www.star.bris.ac.uk/~mbt/topcat/
You can read in the FITS table and export it in whatever form you like.

Cheers,
Doug

Thanks Doug,

I've managed to "open and load" those FITS files using MatLab. Now the question is: What's the structure and meaning of the data in the FITS files?

I need to know that in order to try some kind of analysis.
