New in Version 2.1:

  • accelsearch now has a "jerk" search capability (thanks to UVA
    undergrad Bridget Andersen for help with this!). This makes
    searches take a lot longer, but definitely improves sensitivity
    when the observation duration is 5-15% of the duration of the orbital
    period. Typically -wmax should be set to 3-5x -zmax (and you probably
    never need to set -zmax to anything larger than 300).
  • Ability to ignore bad channels on the command line (-ignorechan)
    (see rfifind_stats.py and weights_to_ignorechan.py)
  • Lots of new python utilities (such as for handling RFI, showing
    bandpasses, making waterfall plots, ...)
  • New wrappers for the python interface (will make the transition
    to Python 3.X much smoother later this year)
  • Many bug fixes and minor improvements
