Speaker

Nicholas Swainston (Curtin University)

Description

We present the pulsar_spectra software repository, an open-source pulsar flux density catalogue and automated spectral fitting software that finds the best spectral model and produces publication-quality plots. The Python-based software includes features that enable users in the astronomical community to add newly published spectral measurements to the catalogue as they become available. This project is an example of how you can be a collaborative member of the astronomical community through software development.
