  Exploring Light Curve Plotting in Stingray.jl: Recipes and Examples: In my continued work with Stingray.jl , so hello everyone, let's learns about plotting my favorite topic:) Light curves are essential in high-energy astrophysics, as they represent the brightness of an astronomical object as a function of time. Precise visualization and filtering of these curves help astronomers perform accurate timing analysis, detect variability, and identify astrophysical phenomena. This post demonstrates how to generate and customize light curve plots using Stingray.jl , leveraging real NICER datasets. Dataset and Setup: For this demonstration, I used a dataset from NICER-HESRAC-CL.EVT . The first step is to load the event data into an EventList object: julia using Plots events = readevents("ni1200120104_0mpu7_cl.evt", load_gti=true, sort=true) Output: pgsql Found GTI data: 16 intervals GTI time range: 1.3253976595089495e8 to 1.3261337476368216e8 EventList with 212...
