SubTasks

PyFstat

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
