matching_grb_frb_script

matching_frbgrb_finder_python.py

This python script can be used to find overlapping events between 2 catalogs. It compares the location (RA/DEC) and time of event to find any similarities. It is used in step 2 of my analysis into the "Search for Gamma-ray Emissions from a Population of Fast Radio Bursts."

Usage requirements:

  • The script requires .csv files and knowledge of what column contains the GRB/FRB code, the event time, RA, DEC, and RA/DEC errors.
  • Input a time uncertainty when prompted, filenames, and number of entries in each file
  • The script displays when a match is found and it will output a total runtime at the end as well as the time the script finished
  • The package 'pandas' is required which can be installed here: https://pandas.pydata.org/getting_started.html
  • Generates 2 .txt files, one containing photons and FRBs that only match in location and the other containing photons and FRBs that mathc in both location and time.

matching_frbgrb_finder_bash.sh

This bash script utilises the Fermi tool 'gtselect' and is much more optimised than the python version above. It is used in step 2 of my analysis into the "Search for Gamma-ray Emissions from a Population of Fast Radio Bursts."

Usage requirements:

  • Have Fermi tools pre installed and he conda enviornment activated (https://github.com/fermi-lat/Fermitools-conda/wiki/Installation-Instructions)
  • Activate Fermi enviornment
  • Input a time uncertainty and energy range when prompted
  • Requires the data and knowledge of what column contains the GRB/FRB code, the event time, RA, DEC, and RA/DEC errors.
  • The script can be adapted by changing the lines with comments.

These scripts was produced by Ethan H. Kao at the Laboratory for Space Research (HKU)
