X-Ray Timing Made Easy

Master

We are writing a general-purpose timing package for X-ray time series.

Contents

The contents will be:

• make a light curve from event data
• make periodograms in Leahy and rms normalization
• average periodograms
• cross spectra and lags (time vs energy, time vs frequency)
• maximum likelihood fitting of periodograms/parametric models
• bispectra (?)
• cross correlation functions, coherence
• spectral-timing functionality
• Bayesian QPO searches
• power colours
• rms spectra
