Publication ready
This software is now ready to be used by the public and has been published in Swainstion et al. 2022 and Lee et al. 2022.
Software updates
- Added alternate plotting style for publications
- Added the ability to plot multiple fits to compare spectra before and after adding new data
- Improved fitting by adjusting model limits and reducing fit tolerance
- Improved the documentation to include more examples and explanations of the fitting, catalogue and how to add to the catalogue
- Put all model defaults into a model_settings function so it will be easier to add new models or play with defaults in the future
- Implemented double broken power-law, but kept it de-activated for now
Catalogue updates
New publications
- Johnston et al. (1993)
- Taylor et al. (1993)
- Mignani et al. (2017)
- Johnston et. al. (2018)
- Jankowski et al. (2019)
- Sanidas et. al. (2019)
- Bilous et al. (2020)
Updated publications
- Fixed Xue et al. 2017, Bondonneau et. al. 2020, Bilous et. al. 2016
- Fixed the van Ommen et al. (1997) file names
- Removed the internal references from Sieber (1973) (had data that didn't show the Crab turning over at low frequencies)
- Reduced the uncertainty of Taylor et al. (1993) from a factor of 2 to 50%
- Reduced the Zhao et al. (2019) data to just the average values
- Changed Taylor et al. (1993) name and uncertainties
- Fixed error bars in Sieber (1973), which were set as the errors in pulse energies not flux densities
- Fixed error in Xue et al. (2017) data. It included 200 MHz points, however, if you look at the paper, those points are just Murphy et al. (2017) data points.
- Fixed mistake in data from Zakharenko et al. (2013). It included points from Malofeev et al. (2000) and Izvekova et al. (1981).
