Suite of random pulsar-related utilities

angsep

Calculates the angular separation between two sets of RA/Dec positions. It can be used in conjunction with psrcat to generate a list of pulsars closest to a given position. For example, to get a reverse-order list of pulsars closest to 10:31:36 18:42:0,

paste -d' ' <(psrcat -x -c "jname" | awk '{print $1}') \
            <(./angsep 10:31:36 18:42:0 <(psrcat -x -c "raj decj" | awk '{print $1,$4}')) | \
awk '$2 {print $1, $2*180/3.141592654}' | \
sort -n -r -k2
