Data and code that support the discovery paper of the long-period GLEAM-X transient

In alphabetical order, the scripts in this repository include:

  • barycentric_correction_utility : Correct for the delays introduced to the pulses by the Earth's orbit around the Sun
  • brightness_fluence_wrt_time : produce plots of the brightness and fluence of the pulses with respect to time (Fig 2)
  • burst_periodicity : periodogram analysis to generate initial estimate of source periodicity
  • calibration_solutions : radio interferometric calibration solutions that can be applied to MWA measurement sets downloaded from ASVO
  • dedispersed_profiles : dispersion corrections applied to produce dynamic spectra (Extended Fig 1)
  • dynamic_spectra : dynamic spectra from each observation (Fig 3)
  • imaging : example WSClean scripts used to generate images of the transient
  • iquv_image : plotting code for Extended Figure 7
  • metafits : FITS format information about each observation
  • ppdot : Period - Period derivative grid search and plotting code (Extended Fig 2)
  • pulse_stack : pulse profiles w.r.t. time for each observation, aligned by P and Pdot (Fig 1 and Extended Fig 5)
  • spectral_index : spectral index measurement over five contiguous observations (Extended Fig 3)
  • xray_limit_estimates : X-ray luminosity and hardness limits from Swift observation (Extended Fig 4)

Code for Fig 4 of the paper (transient phase space) can be found in this repository: https://github.com/nhurleywalker/Transient_Phase_Space which is forked from https://github.com/FRBs/Transient_Phase_Space .
