Currently an experiment calls snews_pt to submit an alert. The first neutrino time is called the burst time and is what's sent in the coincidence tier message. If there's also a timing_series in there, a timing tier message is also sent. Great, one stop shopping for the experiments.
However, this will generate a lot of timestamp objects, which differ only in the last few significant figures, as the burst is lasting seconds not years.
Proposal: the timestamp objects are replaced with floats that are the relative time (in seconds) from the initial time.
