Come analyze HEASARC, IRSA, and MAST data in the cloud! The Fornax Initiative is now welcoming all interested beta users.
New in v12.13.0
New features
- New Models:
cglumin convolution model to calculate luminosity with the source distance in kpc - Updated Models:
- Improved parallelism between mdefine'd and built-in model components. Any mdefine'd models now appear in the "model ?" list indicated by a hash (#) sign.
- Updated wrappers for change of ismabs, ismdust, and olivineabs to double precision Fortran in previous release.
- Note that internal changes to model handling mean that initpackage should be rerun for any local models.
- Plotting:
- Added plot fitstat option. This supersedes plot chisq and works correctly for all fit statistics.
- Added (l)edata and (l)eedata plot options.
- Fixed X-axis ranges when stacking plots vertically. Use common X-axis if plots are not disjoint by more than an order of magnitude.
- Added setplot areascale/noareascale options which modify the data, background, and residual plots by dividing by the AREASCAL keyword or vector. This is mainly useful for the XMM RGS. If setplot area is in use then this has no effect because the AREASCAL values are included when dividing by the area.
- Added setplot errortype option to specify how the error bars should be calculated for the plot (note - this has no effect on fitting). This can already been done as part of the setplot rebin option.
- MCMC:
- Added new chain proposal uniform option which gives a uniform distribution between the parameter lower and upper limits. Useful for setting initial walkers in gw method.
- Miscellaneous:
- Added comp and group options to show all parameters in a given component or group to show parm free, fixed, and linked.
- Fixed simftest.tcl so that it returns the model to the state on input.
- Added reducedchisq.tcl and writesimpars.tcl scripts.
- Now stores DETNAM, FILTER, STOKESPR, STOKESWT keyword values for spectra and will give warnings about inconsistencies with background/correction, arfs, and rmfs.
- Improved diagnostic output when ARF files fail to load.
Bug fixes
The following bugs have been fixed.
- Fixed case where all spectra are removed while using extended energies, and table models are in use.
- tclout datagrp now returns 0 rather than 1 when no spectra are loaded.
