BolideDataFrame

The BolideDataFrame class is the main way to work with data in the bolides package. BolideDataFrame is an extension of GeoPandas’ GeoDataFrame object, which extends Pandas’ DataFrame.

Constructor

BolideDataFrame(*args, **kwargs)

Subclass of GeoPandas GeoDataFrame with additional bolide-specific methods.

Filtering

BolideDataFrame.filter_date([start, end, ...])	Filter bolides by date.
BolideDataFrame.filter_boundary(boundary[, ...])	Filter data to only points within specified boundaries.
BolideDataFrame.filter_observation(sensors)	Filter data to only points observable (in time and space) by a given sensor.
BolideDataFrame.filter_shower([shower, ...])	Filter data to only points observable (in time and space) by a given sensor.

Search

BolideDataFrame.get_closest_by_time(datestr)	Get the n bolides closest to a given iso-format date string
BolideDataFrame.get_closest_by_loc(lon, lat)	Get the n bolides closest to a given longitude and latitude

Plotting

BolideDataFrame.plot_detections([category])	Plot detections of bolides.
BolideDataFrame.plot_interactive(*args, **kwargs)	Plot an interactive map of bolide detections.
BolideDataFrame.plot_density(*args, **kwargs)	Plot bolide detection density.
BolideDataFrame.plot_dates([freq, logscale, ...])	Plot the number of bolides over time.

Data Manipulation

BolideDataFrame.augment(new_data[, ...])	Augment BolideDataFrame with data from another source
BolideDataFrame.add_website_data([ids])	Pull light curve and integrated energy data from neo-bolide.ndc.nasa.gov.
