v2.0 Bandwidth Integration

Version 2.0 documentation

Software updates

• Added the bandwidth of all flux density measurements in the catalogue
• Now take into account the bandwidth of flux density measurements by integrating the model over the bandwidth to more accurately fit data with large fractional bandwidths
• Made an executable script, quick_fit.py to do a quick spectra fit
• No longer use log parabolic spectrum model by default
• Added some docs on how to add a model and what the _ATNF label means
• All psrqpy queries will use version 1.68 of the ATNF pulsar catalogue
• Created tests that use GitHub actions. They test the catalogue to assert pulsar names are consistent with the ATNF, it's correctly formatted, there is no redundant ATNF data, and there ADS links are recorded

Updated publications

• Rounded McEwen_2020 to one decimal place
• Renamed Hobbs_2004 as Hobbs_2004a
• Modified Hobbs_2004a to include the discovery fluxes and not use the fluxes from other papers
• Changed Lorimer_1995 to Lorimer_1995a, Kramer_2003 to Kramer_2003a and Lorimer_1995 to Lorimer_1995b
• I believe there was a typo in the Murphy_2017 table, so fixed a frequency value
• Removed Sieber_1973 and Taylor_1993 because it is full of other publications and has no bandwidth recorded
• Fixed Johnston_2018 and Qiao_1995. There were typos that caused their uncertainties to be zero
