chromatic_time_delay(cm, alpha, freq)[source]

Return the chromatic time delay for a set of frequencies.

delay_chrom = cm * DMconst * (freq / 1 MHz)**alpha

cm_value(toas)[source]

Compute modeled CM value at given TOAs.

Parameters:

toas (TOAs object or TOA table(TOAs.table)) –

If given a TOAs object, it will use the whole TOA table in the: TOAs object.

Return type:

CM values at given TOAs in the unit of CM.

d_delay_d_cmparam(toas, param_name, acc_delay=None)[source]

Derivative of delay wrt to CM parameter.

Parameters:

toas (pint.TOAs object.) – Input toas.
param_name (str) – Derivative parameter name
acc_delay (astropy.quantity or numpy.ndarray) – Accumulated delay values. This parameter is to keep the unified API, but not used in this function.

register_cm_deriv_funcs(func, param)[source]

Register the derivative function in to the deriv_func dictionaries.

Parameters:

func (callable) – Calculates the derivative
param (str) – Name of parameter the derivative is with respect to

add_param(param: Parameter, deriv_func: Callable | None = None, setup: bool = False)

Add a parameter to the Component.

The parameter is stored in an attribute on the Component object. Its name is also recorded in a list, self.params.

Parameters:

param (pint.models.Parameter) – The parameter to be added.
deriv_func (function) – Derivative function for parameter.

property aliases_map: Dict[str, str]

Return all the aliases and map to the PINT parameter name.

This property returns a dictionary from the current in timing model parameters’ aliase to the pint defined parameter names. For the aliases of a prefixed parameter, the aliase with an existing prefix index maps to the PINT defined parameter name with the same index. Behind the scenes, the indexed parameter adds the indexed aliase to its aliase list.

property category: str: Category is a feature the class, so delegate.

property free_params_component: List[str]

Return the free parameters in the component.

This function collects the non-frozen parameters.

Return type:: A list of free parameters.

get_params_of_type(param_type: str) → List[str]: Get all the parameters in timing model for one specific Parameter subtype.

get_prefix_mapping_component(prefix: str) → Dict[int, str]

Get the index mapping for the prefix parameters.

Parameters:: prefix (str) – Name of prefix.
Returns:: A dictionary with prefix parameter real index as key and parameter name as value.
Return type:: dict

is_in_parfile(para_dict: Dict) → bool

Check if this subclass included in parfile.

Parameters:: para_dict (dictionary) – A dictionary contain all the parameters with values in string from one parfile
Returns:: Whether the subclass is included in the parfile.
Return type:: bool

match_param_aliases(alias: str) → str

Return the parameter corresponding to this alias.

Parameters:: alias (str) – Alias name.

Note

This function only searches the parameter aliases within the current component. If one wants to search the aliases in the scope of TimingModel, please use TimingModel.match_param_aliase().

param_help() → str: Print help lines for all available parameters in model.

print_par(format: Literal['tempo', 'tempo2', 'pint'] = 'pint') → str

Parameters:: format (str, optional) – Parfile output format. PINT outputs the ‘tempo’, ‘tempo2’ and ‘pint’ format. The defaul format is pint. Actual formatting done elsewhere.
Returns:: str
Return type:: formatted line for par file

register_deriv_funcs(func: Callable, param: str) → None

Register the derivative function in to the deriv_func dictionaries.

Parameters:

func (callable) – Calculates the derivative
param (str) – Name of parameter the derivative is with respect to

remove_param(param: str | Parameter) → None

Remove a parameter from the Component.

Parameters:: param (str or pint.models.Parameter) – The parameter to remove.

setup() → None: Finalize construction loaded values.

validate() → None: Validate loaded values.

validate_toas(toas) → None: Check that this model component has TOAs where needed.
