What is time sampling on those?
You have intensity (float?) for 10k stars, by how many times in that siz
months?
Every ten minutes, fits into my winxp laptop just fine.
ie a = fltarr(10000,6*30*24*6)
Some suggestions:
Perhaps you could downsample the intensity time series - do
you really need that high time resultion?
You could categorize the stars into groups (based on quadrant in
the sky, or on magnitude) and analyze the groups seperately.
You make a pointer array for each star, 10k pointers where each pointer
points to a strucutre which holds the time and intensity
for when it is in view.
Cheers,
