seti-tools

Technosignature searches on public astronomical archives: the code, the papers, and a database of what every run searched and found.

Path	Contents
seti.py	the entry point: python -I seti.py <family> <approach> <mode>
setitools/	archive clients, rest frames, spectral and radio searches, time series, the coverage store, and in searches/ the twelve family modules, each approach's docstring giving its data, detection rule and modes
coverage.db	SQLite: one row per run, one per target searched
RESULTS.md	one line per approach
docs/, recipes/	methods, vetting, archives, the ledger of approaches, one recipe per family
papers/	the papers and their sources

Python 3.11+ with requirements.txt (torch for the GPU paths only). Paths come from SETI_DATA, SETI_CACHE, SETI_RESULTS and SETI_COVERAGE, or a config file outside the repository (keys in local_config.example.json). python -I selftest.py checks the package, python -I seti.py <family> lists a family's approaches, python -m setitools.coverage card <target> lists every run that covered a target, and table regenerates RESULTS.md.
