lfkit.utils.download_poggianti97_data

Download Poggianti (1997) correction tables from VizieR.

This script retrieves the Poggianti (1997) catalog (J/A+AS/122/399) using astroquery and stores the tables as CSV files inside the LFKit package data directory:

src/lfkit/data/poggianti1997/

The downloaded files are written in CSV format so they can be accessed at runtime via importlib.resources.

To run this script, simply execute it from the command line:

python scripts/download_poggianti97_data.py

This script is intended to be run manually during development or data refresh.
