pint.event_toas.get_event_TOAs
- pint.event_toas.get_event_TOAs(eventname, mission, weights=None, minmjd=-inf, maxmjd=inf, ephem=None, planets=False, include_bipm=False, include_gps=False, errors=<Quantity 1. us>)[source]
Read photon event times out of a FITS file as a
pint.toa.TOAsobjectCorrectly handles raw event files, or ones processed with axBary to have barycentered TOAs. Different conditions may apply to different missions.
The minmjd/maxmjd parameters can be used to avoid instantiation of TOAs we don’t want, which can otherwise be very slow.
- Parameters:
eventname (str) – File name of the FITS event list
mission (str) – Name of the mission (e.g. RXTE, XMM)
weights (array or None) – The array has to be of the same size as the event list. Overwrites possible weight lists from mission-specific FITS files
minmjd (float, default "-infinity") – minimum MJD timestamp to return
maxmjd (float, default "infinity") – maximum MJD timestamp to return
ephem (str, optional) – The name of the solar system ephemeris to use; defaults to “DE421”.
planets (bool, optional) – Whether to apply Shapiro delays based on planet positions. Note that a long-standing TEMPO2 bug in this feature went unnoticed for years. Defaults to False.
include_bipm (bool, optional) – Use TT(BIPM) instead of TT(TAI)
include_gps (bool, optional) – Apply GPS to UTC clock corrections
errors (astropy.units.Quantity or float, optional) – The uncertainty on the TOA; if it’s a float it is assumed to be in microseconds
- Return type:
