I processed transit data for WASP 43b and WASP 170b for my third year research project that my supervisor had taken from the South African Observatory, and only now, thanks to Nora do I properly understand what binned data is. Thank you!
Why do you plot flux on the y axis which has units electrons per second? To my understanding the CCD opens up for a number of seconds and collects a number of photons which is then converted to number of electrons. But this means we measure a certain absolute number of electrons during the exposure time. Therefore, why not plot electrons vs time?
As of 2024, I'm using jupyter notebook on VS Code, I had to change the first line "%matplotlib notebook" to "%matplotlib inline" in order to plot the data. Otherwise I get an error with the output instead of the figure, just the line ""
Thank you very much...Soo easy to understand...

Binning is so simple. Thanks to both for explaining what is binning and how to do it. You made it very simple. :)

im not able to use bin when ever i write it it just shows light curve collection has no atribute bin
As of 2024, I'm using jupyter notebook on VS Code, I had to change the first line
"%matplotlib notebook" to "%matplotlib inline" in order to plot the data.

in am getting an error while running the bin code
LightCurveCollection' object has no attribute 'bin'
any idea how to solve this
