You have found the GitHub Organization for the Open mulTiwavelength Transient Event Repository (or OTTER)!
Each repo is for a different part of the project tentatively structured as follows:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| otter | The Python API for accessing the data in OTTER |
| otterdb | Code for managing the backend "database" of otter |
| otter-docker | Code and instructions to use the otter docker image and work with the otter dataset |
| webotter | Code for development of the frontend website of otter (currently deprecated) |
See the README file in the otter-docker repo for more detailed instructions
Once you have the Docker container running you will also have started the API server endpoint. This means you can also query OTTER from python! See https://astro-otter.readthedocs.io for detailed instructions. A sample use case to get all of the data for the TDE ASASSN-14li and then access it's coordinates and photometry is below.
# 1) query for the TDE ASASSN-14li
from otter import Otter
db = Otter()
t = db.query(names="ASASSN-14li")[0]
print(t)
# Get and print an astropy skycoord for ASASSN-14li
coord = t.get_skycoord()
print(coord)
# get the photometry
phot = db.get_phot(names="ASASSN-14li")
print(phot)
