Typedef Documentation

typedef REAL8 PulsarAmplitudeVect[4]

Struct for 'canonical' coordinates in amplitude-params space A^mu = {A1, A2, A3, A4}.

Definition at line 124 of file PulsarDataTypes.h.

typedef REAL8 PulsarSpins[PULSAR_MAX_SPINS]

Typedef for fixed-size array holding GW frequency and derivatives fk = d^k Freq/dt^k|(tau_ref)

Definition at line 127 of file PulsarDataTypes.h.

Struct to define parameters of a 'transient window' to be applied to obtain transient signals.

Enumerator
TRANSIENT_NONE	Note: in this case the window-parameters will be ignored, and treated as rect={data}, i.e. a simple rectangular window covering all the data => this should always reproduce the standard F-statistic computation.
TRANSIENT_RECTANGULAR	standard rectangular window covering [t0, t0+tau]
TRANSIENT_EXPONENTIAL	exponentially decaying window e^{-t0/tau} starting at t0. Note: we'll truncate this at some small (eg 3x) e-folding TRANSIENT_EXP_EFOLDING
TRANSIENT_LAST
