Data Exploration

These notebook tutorials show some ways to explore data with Stingray.

A quick look at a NuSTAR observation

Stingray transparently loads datasets from many HEASOFT-supported missions. In this Tutorial, we will show an example quicklook of a NuSTAR observation.

• Quicklook NuSTAR data with Stingray

Spectral timing exploration with NICER

In this Tutorial, we will show an example spectral timing exploration of a black hole binary using NICER data.

• Load events and plot light curve
• Calculate periodogram and cross spectrum
• Periodogram modeling
• Lags and coherence
  • Spectral timing
• Covariance and RMS spectrum
