First release of Python library accompanying the paper "The selection function of the Gaia DR3 open cluster census" (Hunt et al. 2025).

The module includes two main models:

  • hr_selection_function.HR24SelectionFunction: calculates the probability that a real open cluster appears in the catalogue of Hunt & Reffert 2024
  • hr_selection_function.NStarsPredictor: estimates the number of stars and median parallax error of a cluster in the sample of Gaia DR3 used by Hunt & Reffert 2023/2024, which can be used to convert physical cluster parameters (mass, age, etc) to parameters used by the selection function.

Check out the examples on GitHub to see how to use them.
