X-Ray Timing Made Easy

Master Build Status Master Coverage Status Master

We are writing a general-purpose timing package for X-ray time series.

Authors

  • Abigail Stevens (UvA)
  • Daniela Huppenkothen (NYU CDS)
  • Matteo Bachetti (INAF/OACa)

Contents

The contents will be:

  • make a light curve from event data
  • make periodograms in Leahy and rms normalization
  • average periodograms
  • cross spectra and lags (time vs energy, time vs frequency)
  • maximum likelihood fitting of periodograms/parametric models
  • bispectra (?)
  • cross correlation functions, coherence
  • spectral-timing functionality
  • Bayesian QPO searches
  • power colours
  • rms spectra

Documentation
