empyrean.read_ades¶

read_ades(path_or_string)[source]¶

Read ADES PSV observations into optical + radar tables.

Parameters:: path_or_string (str | PathLike[str]) – Either a filesystem path to an ADES PSV / MPC80 file, or the PSV / MPC80 content directly as a string. A pathlib.Path instance is always treated as a path; a plain str is treated as a path when it exists on disk and as content otherwise.
Return type:: tuple[ADESObservations, ADESRadarObservations]
Returns:: tuple[ADESObservations, ADESRadarObservations] – (optical, radar). The radar table is empty when the file carries no <radar> block. ADES models radar as its own top-level table, so both are returned together; unpack the tuple — e.g. optical, radar = read_ades(path).
