simpulse: C++/python library for simulating pulses in radio astronomy

Right now there isn't much here, just a class representing a single channelized, dispersed, scattered pulse. In the future I may add more features (e.g. pulsars and scintillated pulses).

INSTALLATION

• You'll need the following prerequisites.

  • C++ compiler which supports C++11
  • Cython (installation hint: pip install Cython)
  • FFTW3 (installation hint: sudo yum install fftw-devel or brew install fftw)

• Create a file Makefile.local defining a few Makefile variables (see brief description in Makefile, or one of the examples in site/)

• Do make all install

• You can make a few example plots with

cd visual_check
./plot-pulses.py
