An interactive figure of the 2016 and 2020 X-ray light curves of LMC 1968 as observed by the XRT instrument on Swift

This repository contains all the files necessary to create the interactive figure in the Research Note ov Schwarz, Page, Kuin, & Darnley 2020. The figure was created using the aas-timeseries package of the astropy project. The file lmc68.py is the underlying python code while the two lmcrel*.csv are the input files for the 2016 and 2020 eruptions of the recurrent nova LMC 1968 as observed by the XRT instrument on board the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory. A Jupyter notebook is required to preview the interactive figure. The output from the code is saved in the interactive.tar.gz package. It consists of four files:

• index.html
• figure.json
• data_75e74aca-09f1-4846-966e-9e33c7acc8d3.csv
• data_5402e718-01cf-4ad7-92a5-7679d4076ed5.csv

The first file, index.html, is the html framework that houses the interactive figure. figure.json contains the interactive figure commands while the two data*csv files are the underlying data. The interactive figure can be viewed if this package is opened on a web server.  A copy of this interactive figure is available here so you can try it out.
