• plot_final_results.ipynb: Notebook for plotting and final result visualization.
• Starloc.ipynb: Notebook for interactive analysis (optional).
• utils/: Utility functions used by scripts and notebooks.
• data/: Input data directory.
• results/: Output directory for generated results.
• environment.yml: Conda environment definition.

Setup
