Functions to read TEMPO pulsar parameter files.

Functions for reading pulsar parameters from TEMPO .par files.

Prototypes

Description

Radio astronomers fit pulsar parameters using TEMPO(2) which will output the parameters in a .par file. The values allowed in this file can be found in the TEMPO documentation. Two function are available to extract these parameters from the .par files:

  • XLALReadTEMPOParFileOrig - this will read parameters into a BinaryPulsarParams structure and set any unused parameters to zero or NULL. To use this you must know the correct parameter name within the structure. This is deprecated in favour of XLALReadTEMPOParFile and is no longer maintained
  • XLALReadTEMPOParFile - this reads the parameters into a linked list PulsarParameters structure, from which the parameters can be accessed using the appropriate access function. These use a hash table to quick look-up. The parameters are assigned names, which are used as the hash table keys, which are fully uppercase versions of the TEMPO parameter names.

All parameters read in are converted into SI units.

Functions are is also included which converts a string containing the right ascension or declination in the format ddd/hh:mm:ss.s or ddd/hhmmss.s (as is given in the .par file) into a REAL8 value in radians.

Conversion function for error from string to value

Parameter type

Definition at line 938 of file ReadPulsarParFile.c.

◆ ParseParLine()

static INT4 ParseParLine ( PulsarParameters par,
const CHAR name,
FILE *  fp 
)
static

Parse a single line from a pulsar parameter file.

This will parse a line from the TEMPO-style pulsar parameter file containing the parameter given by name. The parameter will be added to the par structure.

This function can only be used internally.

Definition at line 1146 of file ReadPulsarParFile.c.

◆ XLALReadTEMPOParFile()

PulsarParameters* XLALReadTEMPOParFile ( const CHAR pulsarAndPath)

Read in the parameters from a TEMPO(2) parameter file into a PulsarParameters structure.

This function will read in a TEMPO(2) parameter file into a PulsarParameters structure. The structure of this function is similar to those in the TEMPO2 code readParfile.C and this supersedes the XLALReadTEMPOParFileOrig function.

Parameters
pulsarAndPath[in] The path to the pulsar parameter file

Definition at line 1480 of file ReadPulsarParFile.c.

◆ XLALReadTEMPOParFileOrig()

void XLALReadTEMPOParFileOrig ( BinaryPulsarParams output,
CHAR pulsarAndPath 
)

function to read in a TEMPO parameter file

Definition at line 1553 of file ReadPulsarParFile.c.

◆ PrintPulsarParameters()

void PrintPulsarParameters ( BinaryPulsarParams  params)

function to print out all the pulsar parameters read in from a par file

Definition at line 2849 of file ReadPulsarParFile.c.

◆ XLALReadTEMPOCorFile()

LALStringVector* XLALReadTEMPOCorFile ( REAL8Array cormat,
CHAR corfile 
)

This function will read in a TEMPO-style parameter correlation matrix.

This function will read in a TEMPO-style parameter correlation matrix file, which contains the correlations between parameters as fit by TEMPO. An example the format would be:

     RA     DEC    F0
RA   1.000
DEC  0.954  1.000
F0   -0.007 0.124  1.000

In the output all parameter names will sometimes be converted to a more convenient naming convention. If non-diagonal parameter correlation values are +/-1 then they will be converted to be +/-0.99999 to avoid some problems of the matrix becoming singular. The output matrix will have both the upper and lower triangle completed.

Parameters
cormat[out] A REAL8 array into which the correlation matrix will be output
corfile[in] A string containing the path and filename of the TEMPO-style correlation matrix file

Definition at line 2915 of file ReadPulsarParFile.c.

◆ XLALTTMJDtoGPS()

REAL8 XLALTTMJDtoGPS ( REAL8  MJD)

This function converts a MJD format time corrected to Terrestrial Time (TT) into an equivalent GPS time.

Functions for converting times given in Terrestrial time TT, TDB, or TCB in MJD to times in GPS - this is important for epochs given in .par files which are in TDB(MJD).

Definition at line 3045 of file ReadPulsarParFile.c.

◆ XLALTDBMJDtoGPS()

REAL8 XLALTDBMJDtoGPS ( REAL8  MJD)

If you have an MJD arrival time on the Earth then this will convert it to the equivalent GPS time in TDB (see Table 1 of Seidelmann and Fukushima, Astronomy & Astrophysics, 265, 833-838 (1992).

Note that XLALBarycenter performs these TDBtoTT corrections (i.e. the Einstein delay) when correcting a GPS time on the Earth to TDB. Also, for TEMPO produced pulsar epochs given in MJD these are already in the TDB system and an equivalent GPS time in the TDB can be calculated just using XLALTTMJDtoGPS.

Definition at line 3066 of file ReadPulsarParFile.c.

◆ XLALTCBMJDtoGPS()

REAL8 XLALTCBMJDtoGPS ( REAL8  MJD)

If you have an MJD arrival time on the Earth then this will convert it to the equivalent GPS time in TCB (see Table 1 of Seidelmann and Fukushima, Astronomy & Astrophysics, 265, 833-838, 1992).

Note that for default TEMPO2 produced pulsar epochs given in MJD these are already in the TCB system and an equivalent GPS time in the TCB can be calculated just using XLALTTMJDtoGPS.
