BAT 157 month survey catalog #23

Closed Parrazyte closed 1 month ago

Parrazyte commented 6 months ago

Hi, now that I've managed to create a working pipeline, I've started analyzing data from several sources and it seems that the list of sources only considers the 105 month catalog.

(If I am wrong, could you point me towards the catalog files so that I can try to find how the X-ray Binaries I'm interested in are named there ? I've looked at the sources_cX.cat files creaed in the mosaic folder, but to no avail).

Since creating mosaic gives an rmf called 157.rmf, I assume the 157 months survey is at least partly ready. Are they any plan to add the new sources detected during this period to the current iteration of BatAnalysis ?

Hi @Parrazyte, the catalog is not the most recent 157 month catalog since that paper and the full catalog has not been released yet. It is possible to add sources to the catalog file that is included with the BatAnalysis package. This is outlined in the bat survey introduction Jupyter notebook.

So, you can add the sources that you would like and those sources will be analyzed with your pipeline, so long as your custom catalog is passed to the appropriate functions.

Once, the full 157 month fits file catalog is ready we will update the python package.

I completely missed that, thanks for the heads up.
