Fast Lomb-Scargle Periodograms in Python

Read Original

This technical article compares several Python implementations of the Lomb-Scargle periodogram, a key algorithm for detecting periodicity in irregularly-sampled data. It recommends the 'gatspy' package, specifically its 'LombScargleFast' algorithm, for its efficiency. The post includes a practical astronomy example using variable star data and discusses integration with the AstroPy library.
