Features#

Space PDFs#

  • Single source or multi-source stacking

    • Optional source extension (circular Gaussian)

    • Optional signal subtraction

  • Highly-extended source with healpy template

    • Constant spectrum per pixel

    • Energy-binned spectrum per pixel

Energy PDFs#

  • Fit power law (even for template analysis)

  • Fix arbitrary spectrum

Time PDFs#

  • Gaussian or box flare fitting (fit peak time and/or flare width)

  • Multiflare (box flares)

  • A priori binned lightcurve

  • Fast transients (fixed box or fixed box+tails)

All-sky scans#

  • Supports any single-point-like-source method

  • Get full scan results

  • Batch all-sky scan hottest-spot search trials

  • Optional last-step source position refinement

  • Optional spatial prior

Running trials#

  • Robust sensitivity / discovery potential / upper limit estimation

  • Local multi-core multiprocessing

  • Optional live feedback during trial batch execution, sensitivity estimation, etc.

Data wrangling#

  • Automatically mirror datasets

  • Cache expensive PDF constructions (e.g. energy PDF ratios, smoothed templates)

  • Slurp cluster outputs out of directory hierarchies (e.g. from cluster jobs)

Plotting#

  • Enable TeX for all text rendering

  • Skymap plotting helper

  • Silence noisy healpy outputs
