ExternalFollowup

Note

Class for point source followups of externally detected transient sources. Assumes a spectral index of 2.0 in the likelihood.

class fast_response.ExternalFollowup.ExternalFollowup(name, ra, dec, tstart, tstop, extension=None, skipped=None, outdir=None, save=True, seed=None)

Class for external point-source or extended source followup. By default, uses a fixed index of 2.0 in LLH. Based on the PointSourceFollowup class

class fast_response.ExternalFollowup.ExternalSkymapFollowup(name, skymap_path, tstart, tstop, skipped=None, seed=None, outdir=None, save=True, extension=None)

Class for external skymap followup. By default, uses a fixed index of 2.0 in LLH. Based on the PriorFollowup class.

NOTE: There are many functions that are not yet implemented here. The point source followup is strongly preferred for this reason.
