Preparing and correcting extracted BRITE observations

Abstract

Extracted BRITE lightcurves must be carefully prepared and corrected for instrumental effects before a scientific analysis can be performed. Therefore, we have created a suite of Python routines to prepare and correct the lightcurves, which is publicly available. In this paper we describe the method and successive steps performed by these routines.
