System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Generate a high‑resolution colour‑magnitude diagram (CMD) for the ShBoost 2024 star catalog without loading the entire dataset into RAM, using lazy evaluation with Dask and on-disk Datashader processing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Large-scale visualization: produce a 512×512 hex-bin density CMD from ~218 million stars without materialising the full dataset in memory.
  • Scalable data handling: leverage Dask for lazy loading and on-disk Parquet caching to minimize RAM usage.
  • Reproducible workflow: render the CMD with Matplotlib, invert the y-axis to match astrophysical conventions, and use a perceptually uniform color map.

Quick Start

Run the provided workflow to cache the full dataset from S3 and render the CMD PNG using Datashader and Matplotlib.
