Pulsar analysis for the science tools checkout
The tools in this area are glbary, pulsePhase, gtpsearch, and gtpulsardb
Short descriptions of the tools and links to available documentation are on the tools summaries page.
gtpulsardb is for adding entries to the pulsar ephemeris file.
(28 March 2005) Here is an ephemeris file from Masa Hirayama and James Peachey that can be used with pulsePhase and gtpsearch for timing analyses of the pulsars in the Checkout 2 data set. With this file, the pulsars can be referenced by name, with the following translation:
checkup2v1.fits |
name in XML file |
|---|---|
PSR J0534+2200 |
PSRCRAB |
PSR J0835-4510 |
PSRVELA |
PSR J0633+1746 |
PSRGEMINGA |
PSR J1057-5226 |
PSR1055-52 |
PSR J1709-4429 |
PSR1706-44 |
In case this it is not already clear, please be aware that the timing parameters for these pulsars are for Checkout 2 only. The periods are approximately correct, but nothing has been done to try to make the parameters particularly accurate or sensible. Seth Digel
