ASCII File Input Format for SNooPy

SNooPy can load an ASCII text file with the supernova information and photometry. This the the format:

  1. First line should have the SN name as a string, the heliocentric redshift, RA as decimal degrees, and DEC as decimal degrees. All values are separated by spaces. 
  2. Next should follow photometry "blocks", one for each filter.
    1. Each block starts with a line: "filter {name}", where {name} should be a filter name SNooPy recognizes.
    2. Next, each line is a data point, consisting of date, magnitude, and error. The date can be in any numerical form (JD, MJD, etc).

Here is an example to better illustrate the format:
