Code Contents

The various folders within the code contain the following:

• DataFiles: data used by various parts of the code. Includes the following subfolders:

  • Catalogs: the catalog files to be used as filter for our scans
  • DM-Maps: full sky DM maps created from catalogs
  • Misc: miscellaneous files
  • MonteCarlo: MC ready for analysis
  • PP-Factor: files associated with calculating the particle physics factor
  • PS-Maps: individual and collective point source maps

• Make-Catalogs: generate catalogs of objects, including lists of their DM properties and associated uncertainties

• Make-DM-Map: generate sky maps of DM halos

• Make-Fermi-MC: generate MC designed to mock the Fermi data

• Make-PS-Maps: generate Fermi PS models for individual point sources and store them efficiently

• Scan-FullSky: scans for the entire sky at once

• Scan-Small-ROI: scans for small regions of interests, aka stacking analysis

• Smooth-Maps: rapidly smooth maps using the Fermi PSF

To Do

• Add the notebooks we use into the Make-Catalogs folder (DarkSky, 2MASS Tully/Lu, others?)
• Tidy up and complete the code in Scan-Small-ROI
• Move point source models and MC to new folders when we swap to this code
• Go through the catalogs and figure out which ones we want to keep
