csphasecrv
Computes phase dependent spectra for a given source.
Synopsis
This script computes spectra by performing a maximum likelihood fit using :doc:`ctlike` in a series of phase bins for pulsars. The phase bins can be either specified in an ASCII file or as an interval divided into equally sized phase bins. The format of the ASCII file is one row per phase bin, each specifying the start of stop value of the phase bin, separated by a whitespace. The phase goes from 0.0 to 1.0.
On output the script writes the fitting results into a FITS file. The script also produces one XML file per phase bin that contains the fitting results for that bin.
General parameters

- emin [real]
- Lower energy limit of events (in TeV).
- emax [real]
- Upper energy limit of events (in TeV).
- enumbins [integer]
- Number of energy bins per phase bin (0=unbinned).
- coordsys <CEL|GAL> [string]

Standard parameters
- (publish = no) [boolean]
- Specifies whether the phase curve should be published on VO Hub.
- (chatter = 2) [integer]
- Verbosity of the executable:
chatter = 0: no information will be logged
chatter = 1: only errors will be logged
chatter = 2: errors and actions will be logged
chatter = 3: report about the task execution
chatter = 4: detailed report about the task execution
- (clobber = yes) [boolean]
- Specifies whether an existing light curve output file should be overwritten.
- (debug = no) [boolean]
- Enables debug mode. In debug mode the executable will dump any log file output to the console.
- (mode = ql) [string]
- Mode of automatic parameters (default is "ql", i.e. "query and learn").
- (logfile = csphasecrv.log) [filename]
- Log filename.
