Periodic FRBs - conference - dark mode #27

Open shiningsurya opened 3 years ago

shiningsurya commented 3 years ago

I really love the tree view of FRBs but it is not as insightful as cool it looks.

Maybe, it would be super cool if each repeater FRB has it's own burst v/s time plot.

There are atleast two known FRBs which have a periodicity (FRB20121102A, FRB20180916B). Would it possible to show the periodicity in action? A plot like Fig.3. of Marthi etal 2020. I can put in the math here if you'd like.

There is an FRB2021 conference happening sometime in July online. Here's the advt Although I don't know what the committee would decide, but if you haven't considered already, I urge you to submit an abstract/take-part/advertise in the conference! It would be really cool.

lastly, dark mode please

thanks

@shiningsurya - Thanks a lot for your feedback, those are certainly some interesting ideas!

This is a great idea. I could probably write up a bit of code to scatter-plot the Fluence vs MJD for each event upon the click of a repeater parent (primary event). All data is already available in the FRBSTATS catalogue, so if I manage to find a way to fetch the corresponding data for each repeater child, it should not only be possible to implement this, but also be fully dynamic (i.e. update the plots upon new commits with varying data etc. in completely automated fashion).

Interesting figure. I haven't deeply looked into the math yet, but I expected something like this would exist for periodically-active repeaters (kind of similar-ish to P-search (χ^2 vs P_fold plot) in pulsar data analysis). But since this is only useful for 2 repeaters, if you happen to have a code snippet for plotting the Bursts & Cycles vs Phase for FRB20121102A and FRB20180916B, I'd be more than happy to include it in the Fluence vs MJD code for these two repeaters.

Perhaps this could also be dynamically-varying/automatically applicable to all repeaters, I'd have to check if the reported detection MJD precision suffices.

Thanks for the suggestion, I was actually planning to participate to FRB2021, but it might be interesting to present FRBSTATS to the community as well. I've marked it on my calendar!

lastly, dark mode please

I shall also look into that!

Added dynamic Burst Time Series plots for all repeaters. You can now view the S/N* vs MJD for every repeater by clicking on the name of an FRB (parent node) here.

Example (FRB 20180916B):

FRB 20180916B

*The reason I had to go with S/N instead of something more useful like Flux or Fluence is current data coverage. The TNS database (subset of the FRBSTATS catalogue) lacked a lot of data, especially for CHIME, so many parameters will have to be manually searched for in the literature.
