Faraday rotation measurement for pulsars and FRBs
Project description
RMNest
A simple Bayesian inference script for estimating rotation measures via direct fits to Stokes Q & U spectra.
Based on the methodology outlined in the online supplementary materials of Bannister et al. (2019).
Dependencies: bilby & PSRCHIVE Python-3 bindings.
Example usage on the test data:
python fit_RM.py -a test/2020-03-16-18\:12\:00.calib.ST -o test/output/ -l testrun --window 0.45:0.55 -f 128
