Implement new QPO Search Method based on Gaussian Processes

2

My collaborator @MoritzThomasHuebner implemented a new QPO detection methods based on Gaussian Process modelling in [this repository](https://github.com/MoritzThomasHuebner/QPOEstimation). The method is described in [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.12716) (currently under review at ApJ). I...

Bug in `Powerspectrum` when GTI is shorter than light curve?

3

I have a data set where the GTIs are slightly shorter than the data in the FITS file. When I create a light curve and then try to use `Powerspectrum`,...

Added try to import statement for newly public astropy fitter functions

3

Using functionality in the stingray.modeling interface throws *lots* of `AstropyDeprecationWarning`s, due to an interface change in astropy v5.1, which exposes some previously private methods as public. This PR adds a...

Make `EventList.read` work on Fermi/GBM data

4

... because I don't want to load the fits files by hand, so this would be really handy. I will try to make this work.

We need a docs page for this. :)

Improve Docs: Dealing with Dead Time

1

I think it'd be useful to have a comprehensive tutorial on how to approach dead time, especially with stingray. I am assigning myself to write this some time soon. :)

I'm wondering if more generally, it'd be helpful to have something akin to the "science threads" that e.g. Chandra has for CIAO. I think we implicitly already do in places...

Do performance tests with pytorch.fft

2

Should try and do some performance tests with pytorch. I'm wondering if there are other recent insights from computer science that could make our code faster/better? Should do a bit...

General Improvements to stingray.modeling

1

A bunch of things that I think could improve the modeling interface: - [x] make stingray.modeling compatible with emcee3 (issue #455) - [ ] make sure stingray.modeling supports bounds (issue...

Maybe this would be a good idea. :)
