    This is a python package containing basic wrappers of the lalpulsar module with capabilities to perform a variety of searches, primarily focussing on semi-coherent glitch searches.

    Examples

    All examples can be run from their source scripts in examples, or for each example there is descriptive documentation:

    Installation

    The script can be installed system wide via

    python setup.py install

    or simply add this directroy to your python path

    Ephemeris installation

    The scripts require a path to ephemeris files in order to use the lalpulsar.ComputeFstat module. This can either be specified when initialsing each search, or more simply by playing a file ~/pyfstat.conf in your home directory which looks like

    earth_ephem = '/home/<USER>/lalsuite-install/share/lalpulsar/earth00-19-DE421.dat.gz'
    sun_ephem = '/home/<USER>/lalsuite-install/share/lalpulsar/sun00-19-DE421.dat.gz'

    where this uses the default ephemeris files provided with lalsuite.

    Dependencies

    • swig-enabled lalpulsar, a minimal configuration is given by
    ./configure --prefix=${HOME}/lalsuite-install --disable-all-lal --enable-lalpulsar --enable-lalapps --enable-swig
    1. Most easily installed using either conda or pip 2 3
