    '''This is used to perform cone-search, cross-match, and column-filter
    operations on a light curve catalog generated by `make_lclist`.

    Uses the output of `make_lclist` above. This function returns a list of
    light curves matching various criteria specified by the `xmatchexternal`,
    `conesearch`, and `columnfilters kwargs`. Use this function to generate
    input lists for other lcproc functions,
    e.g. `lcproc.lcvfeatures.parallel_varfeatures`,
    `lcproc.periodfinding.parallel_pf`, and `lcproc.lcbin.parallel_timebin`,
    among others.

    The operations are applied in this order if more than one is specified:
    `xmatchexternal` -> `conesearch` -> `columnfilters`. All results from these
    operations are joined using a logical AND operation.

    Parameters
    ----------

    objectidcol : str
        This is the name of the object ID column in the light curve catalog.

    racol : str
        This is the name of the RA column in the light curve catalog.

    declcol : str
        This is the name of the Dec column in the light curve catalog.

    xmatchexternal : str or None
        If provided, this is the filename of a text file containing objectids,
        ras and decs to match the objects in the light curve catalog to by their
        positions.

    xmatchdistarcsec : float
        This is the distance in arcseconds to use when cross-matching to the
        external catalog in `xmatchexternal`.

    externalcolnums : sequence of int
        This a list of the zero-indexed column numbers of columns to extract
        from the external catalog file.

    externalcolnames : sequence of str
        This is a list of names of columns that will be extracted from the
        external catalog file. This is the same length as
        `externalcolnums`. These must contain the names provided as the
        `objectid`, `ra`, and `decl` column names so this function knows which
        column numbers correspond to those columns and can use them to set up
        the cross-match.

    externalcoldtypes : str
        This is a CSV string containing numpy dtype definitions for all columns
        listed to extract from the external catalog file. The number of dtype
        definitions should be equal to the number of columns to extract.

    externalcolsep : str or None
        The column separator to use when extracting columns from the external
        catalog file. If None, any whitespace between columns is used as the
        separator.

    externalcommentchar : str
        The character indicating that a line in the external catalog file is to
        be ignored.

    conesearch : list of float

        This is used to specify cone-search parameters. It should be a three
        element list:

        [center_ra_deg, center_decl_deg, search_radius_deg]

    conesearchworkers : int
        The number of parallel workers to launch for the cone-search operation.

    columnfilters : list of str

        This is a list of strings indicating any filters to apply on each column
        in the light curve catalog. All column filters are applied in the
        specified sequence and are combined with a logical AND operator. The
        format of each filter string should be:

        '<lc_catalog column>|<operator>|<operand>'

        where:

        - <lc_catalog column> is a column in the lc_catalog pickle file
        - <operator> is one of: 'lt', 'gt', 'le', 'ge', 'eq', 'ne', which
          correspond to the usual operators: <, >, <=, >=, ==, != respectively.
        - <operand> is a float, int, or string.

    field_fitsfile : str or None
        If this is not None, it should be the path to a FITS image containing
        the objects these light curves are for. If this is provided,
        `make_lclist` will use the WCS information in the FITS itself if
        `field_wcsfrom` is None (or from a WCS header file pointed to by
        `field_wcsfrom`) to obtain x and y pixel coordinates for all of the
        objects in the field. A finder chart will also be made using
        `astrobase.plotbase.fits_finder_chart` using the corresponding
        `field_scale`, `_stretch`, `_colormap`, `_findersize`, `_pltopts`,
        `_grid`, and `_gridcolors` kwargs for that function, reproduced here to
        enable customization of the finder chart plot.

    field_wcsfrom : str or None
        If `wcsfrom` is None, the WCS to transform the RA/Dec to pixel x/y will
        be taken from the FITS header of `fitsfile`. If this is not None, it
        must be a FITS or similar file that contains a WCS header in its first
        extension.

    field_scale : astropy.visualization.Interval object
        `scale` sets the normalization for the FITS pixel values. This is an
        astropy.visualization Interval object.
        See http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/visualization/normalization.html
        for details on `scale` and `stretch` objects.

    field_stretch : astropy.visualization.Stretch object
        `stretch` sets the stretch function for mapping FITS pixel values to
        output pixel values. This is an astropy.visualization Stretch object.
        See http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/visualization/normalization.html
        for details on `scale` and `stretch` objects.

    field_colormap : matplotlib Colormap object
        `colormap` is a matplotlib color map object to use for the output image.

    field_findersize : None or tuple of two ints
        If `findersize` is None, the output image size will be set by the NAXIS1
        and NAXIS2 keywords in the input `fitsfile` FITS header. Otherwise,
        `findersize` must be a tuple with the intended x and y size of the image
        in inches (all output images will use a DPI = 100).

    field_pltopts : dict
        `field_pltopts` controls how the overlay points will be plotted. This
        a dict with standard matplotlib marker, etc. kwargs as key-val pairs,
        e.g. 'markersize', 'markerfacecolor', etc. The default options make red
        outline circles at the location of each object in the overlay.

    field_grid : bool
        `grid` sets if a grid will be made on the output image.

    field_gridcolor : str
        `gridcolor` sets the color of the grid lines. This is a usual matplotib
        color spec string.

    field_zoomcontain : bool
        `field_zoomcontain` controls if the finder chart will be zoomed to
        just contain the overlayed points. Everything outside the footprint of
        these points will be discarded.

    copylcsto : str
        If this is provided, it is interpreted as a directory target to copy
        all the light curves that match the specified conditions.

    Returns
    -------

    tuple
        Returns a two elem tuple: (matching_object_lcfiles, matching_objectids)
        if conesearch and/or column filters are used. If `xmatchexternal` is
        also used, a three-elem tuple is returned: (matching_object_lcfiles,
        matching_objectids, extcat_matched_objectids).

    '''This is used to perform cone-search, cross-match, and column-filter
    operations on a light curve catalog generated by `make_lclist`.

    Uses the output of `make_lclist` above. This function returns a list of
    light curves matching various criteria specified by the `xmatchexternal`,
    `conesearch`, and `columnfilters kwargs`. Use this function to generate
    input lists for other lcproc functions,
    e.g. `lcproc.lcvfeatures.parallel_varfeatures`,
    `lcproc.periodfinding.parallel_pf`, and `lcproc.lcbin.parallel_timebin`,
    among others.

    The operations are applied in this order if more than one is specified:
    `xmatchexternal` -> `conesearch` -> `columnfilters`. All results from these
    operations are joined using a logical AND operation.

    Parameters
    ----------

    objectidcol : str
        This is the name of the object ID column in the light curve catalog.

    racol : str
        This is the name of the RA column in the light curve catalog.

    declcol : str
        This is the name of the Dec column in the light curve catalog.

    xmatchexternal : str or None
        If provided, this is the filename of a text file containing objectids,
        ras and decs to match the objects in the light curve catalog to by their
        positions.

    xmatchdistarcsec : float
        This is the distance in arcseconds to use when cross-matching to the
        external catalog in `xmatchexternal`.

    externalcolnums : sequence of int
        This a list of the zero-indexed column numbers of columns to extract
        from the external catalog file.

    externalcolnames : sequence of str
        This is a list of names of columns that will be extracted from the
        external catalog file. This is the same length as
        `externalcolnums`. These must contain the names provided as the
        `objectid`, `ra`, and `decl` column names so this function knows which
        column numbers correspond to those columns and can use them to set up
        the cross-match.

    externalcoldtypes : str
        This is a CSV string containing numpy dtype definitions for all columns
        listed to extract from the external catalog file. The number of dtype
        definitions should be equal to the number of columns to extract.

    externalcolsep : str or None
        The column separator to use when extracting columns from the external
        catalog file. If None, any whitespace between columns is used as the
        separator.

    externalcommentchar : str
        The character indicating that a line in the external catalog file is to
        be ignored.

    conesearch : list of float

        This is used to specify cone-search parameters. It should be a three
        element list:

        [center_ra_deg, center_decl_deg, search_radius_deg]

    conesearchworkers : int
        The number of parallel workers to launch for the cone-search operation.

    columnfilters : list of str

        This is a list of strings indicating any filters to apply on each column
        in the light curve catalog. All column filters are applied in the
        specified sequence and are combined with a logical AND operator. The
        format of each filter string should be:

        '<lc_catalog column>|<operator>|<operand>'

        where:

        - <lc_catalog column> is a column in the lc_catalog pickle file
        - <operator> is one of: 'lt', 'gt', 'le', 'ge', 'eq', 'ne', which
          correspond to the usual operators: <, >, <=, >=, ==, != respectively.
        - <operand> is a float, int, or string.

    field_fitsfile : str or None
        If this is not None, it should be the path to a FITS image containing
        the objects these light curves are for. If this is provided,
        `make_lclist` will use the WCS information in the FITS itself if
        `field_wcsfrom` is None (or from a WCS header file pointed to by
        `field_wcsfrom`) to obtain x and y pixel coordinates for all of the
        objects in the field. A finder chart will also be made using
        `astrobase.plotbase.fits_finder_chart` using the corresponding
        `field_scale`, `_stretch`, `_colormap`, `_findersize`, `_pltopts`,
        `_grid`, and `_gridcolors` kwargs for that function, reproduced here to
        enable customization of the finder chart plot.

    field_wcsfrom : str or None
        If `wcsfrom` is None, the WCS to transform the RA/Dec to pixel x/y will
        be taken from the FITS header of `fitsfile`. If this is not None, it
        must be a FITS or similar file that contains a WCS header in its first
        extension.

    field_scale : astropy.visualization.Interval object
        `scale` sets the normalization for the FITS pixel values. This is an
        astropy.visualization Interval object.
        See http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/visualization/normalization.html
        for details on `scale` and `stretch` objects.

    field_stretch : astropy.visualization.Stretch object
        `stretch` sets the stretch function for mapping FITS pixel values to
        output pixel values. This is an astropy.visualization Stretch object.
        See http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/visualization/normalization.html
        for details on `scale` and `stretch` objects.

    field_colormap : matplotlib Colormap object
        `colormap` is a matplotlib color map object to use for the output image.

    field_findersize : None or tuple of two ints
        If `findersize` is None, the output image size will be set by the NAXIS1
        and NAXIS2 keywords in the input `fitsfile` FITS header. Otherwise,
        `findersize` must be a tuple with the intended x and y size of the image
        in inches (all output images will use a DPI = 100).

    field_pltopts : dict
        `field_pltopts` controls how the overlay points will be plotted. This
        a dict with standard matplotlib marker, etc. kwargs as key-val pairs,
        e.g. 'markersize', 'markerfacecolor', etc. The default options make red
        outline circles at the location of each object in the overlay.

    field_grid : bool
        `grid` sets if a grid will be made on the output image.

    field_gridcolor : str
        `gridcolor` sets the color of the grid lines. This is a usual matplotib
        color spec string.

    field_zoomcontain : bool
        `field_zoomcontain` controls if the finder chart will be zoomed to
        just contain the overlayed points. Everything outside the footprint of
        these points will be discarded.

    copylcsto : str
        If this is provided, it is interpreted as a directory target to copy
        all the light curves that match the specified conditions.

    Returns
    -------

    tuple
        Returns a two elem tuple: (matching_object_lcfiles, matching_objectids)
        if conesearch and/or column filters are used. If `xmatchexternal` is
        also used, a three-elem tuple is returned: (matching_object_lcfiles,
        matching_objectids, extcat_matched_objectids).

This is used to perform cone-search, cross-match, and column-filter
    operations on a light curve catalog generated by `make_lclist`.

    Uses the output of `make_lclist` above. This function returns a list of
    light curves matching various criteria specified by the `xmatchexternal`,
    `conesearch`, and `columnfilters kwargs`. Use this function to generate
    input lists for other lcproc functions,
    e.g. `lcproc.lcvfeatures.parallel_varfeatures`,
    `lcproc.periodfinding.parallel_pf`, and `lcproc.lcbin.parallel_timebin`,
    among others.

    The operations are applied in this order if more than one is specified:
    `xmatchexternal` -> `conesearch` -> `columnfilters`. All results from these
    operations are joined using a logical AND operation.

    Parameters
    ----------

    objectidcol : str
        This is the name of the object ID column in the light curve catalog.

    racol : str
        This is the name of the RA column in the light curve catalog.

    declcol : str
        This is the name of the Dec column in the light curve catalog.

    xmatchexternal : str or None
        If provided, this is the filename of a text file containing objectids,
        ras and decs to match the objects in the light curve catalog to by their
        positions.

    xmatchdistarcsec : float
        This is the distance in arcseconds to use when cross-matching to the
        external catalog in `xmatchexternal`.

    externalcolnums : sequence of int
        This a list of the zero-indexed column numbers of columns to extract
        from the external catalog file.

    externalcolnames : sequence of str
        This is a list of names of columns that will be extracted from the
        external catalog file. This is the same length as
        `externalcolnums`. These must contain the names provided as the
        `objectid`, `ra`, and `decl` column names so this function knows which
        column numbers correspond to those columns and can use them to set up
        the cross-match.

    externalcoldtypes : str
        This is a CSV string containing numpy dtype definitions for all columns
        listed to extract from the external catalog file. The number of dtype
        definitions should be equal to the number of columns to extract.

    externalcolsep : str or None
        The column separator to use when extracting columns from the external
        catalog file. If None, any whitespace between columns is used as the
        separator.

    externalcommentchar : str
        The character indicating that a line in the external catalog file is to
        be ignored.

    conesearch : list of float

        This is used to specify cone-search parameters. It should be a three
        element list:

        [center_ra_deg, center_decl_deg, search_radius_deg]

    conesearchworkers : int
        The number of parallel workers to launch for the cone-search operation.

    columnfilters : list of str

        This is a list of strings indicating any filters to apply on each column
        in the light curve catalog. All column filters are applied in the
        specified sequence and are combined with a logical AND operator. The
        format of each filter string should be:

        '<lc_catalog column>|<operator>|<operand>'

        where:

        - <lc_catalog column> is a column in the lc_catalog pickle file
        - <operator> is one of: 'lt', 'gt', 'le', 'ge', 'eq', 'ne', which
          correspond to the usual operators: <, >, <=, >=, ==, != respectively.
        - <operand> is a float, int, or string.

    field_fitsfile : str or None
        If this is not None, it should be the path to a FITS image containing
        the objects these light curves are for. If this is provided,
        `make_lclist` will use the WCS information in the FITS itself if
        `field_wcsfrom` is None (or from a WCS header file pointed to by
        `field_wcsfrom`) to obtain x and y pixel coordinates for all of the
        objects in the field. A finder chart will also be made using
        `astrobase.plotbase.fits_finder_chart` using the corresponding
        `field_scale`, `_stretch`, `_colormap`, `_findersize`, `_pltopts`,
        `_grid`, and `_gridcolors` kwargs for that function, reproduced here to
        enable customization of the finder chart plot.

    field_wcsfrom : str or None
        If `wcsfrom` is None, the WCS to transform the RA/Dec to pixel x/y will
        be taken from the FITS header of `fitsfile`. If this is not None, it
        must be a FITS or similar file that contains a WCS header in its first
        extension.

    field_scale : astropy.visualization.Interval object
        `scale` sets the normalization for the FITS pixel values. This is an
        astropy.visualization Interval object.
        See http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/visualization/normalization.html
        for details on `scale` and `stretch` objects.

    field_stretch : astropy.visualization.Stretch object
        `stretch` sets the stretch function for mapping FITS pixel values to
        output pixel values. This is an astropy.visualization Stretch object.
        See http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/visualization/normalization.html
        for details on `scale` and `stretch` objects.

    field_colormap : matplotlib Colormap object
        `colormap` is a matplotlib color map object to use for the output image.

    field_findersize : None or tuple of two ints
        If `findersize` is None, the output image size will be set by the NAXIS1
        and NAXIS2 keywords in the input `fitsfile` FITS header. Otherwise,
        `findersize` must be a tuple with the intended x and y size of the image
        in inches (all output images will use a DPI = 100).

    field_pltopts : dict
        `field_pltopts` controls how the overlay points will be plotted. This
        a dict with standard matplotlib marker, etc. kwargs as key-val pairs,
        e.g. 'markersize', 'markerfacecolor', etc. The default options make red
        outline circles at the location of each object in the overlay.

    field_grid : bool
        `grid` sets if a grid will be made on the output image.

    field_gridcolor : str
        `gridcolor` sets the color of the grid lines. This is a usual matplotib
        color spec string.

    field_zoomcontain : bool
        `field_zoomcontain` controls if the finder chart will be zoomed to
        just contain the overlayed points. Everything outside the footprint of
        these points will be discarded.

    copylcsto : str
        If this is provided, it is interpreted as a directory target to copy
        all the light curves that match the specified conditions.

    Returns
    -------

    tuple
        Returns a two elem tuple: (matching_object_lcfiles, matching_objectids)
        if conesearch and/or column filters are used. If `xmatchexternal` is
        also used, a three-elem tuple is returned: (matching_object_lcfiles,
        matching_objectids, extcat_matched_objectids).
This is used to perform cone - search cross - match and column - filter operations on a light curve catalog generated by make_lclist .
