| power_laws_and_pdf.ipynb | Energy distributions of banded bursts detected at varying fluence thresholds. |
| subband_search.ipynb | Analysis of using subband searches on bandlimited repeating FRBs. |
-
data/: Consists of burst properties reported by Aggarwal et al 2021 and Li et al 2021. Please cite these two papers if you make use of data in this directory. -
plotting.py: Function to set figure dimensions to avoid scaling in LaTeX -
utils.py: Helper functions (fitting power laws, converting between fluence and energy, etc) -
simulate.py: Functions to simulate properties of bandlimited repeater bursts and then run a mock search on them.
