CALI

A Bayesian method for the inter-calibration of spectra in reverberation mapping

reference: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014ApJ...786L...6L

Compiling: 

First install the third-party packages GSL and LAPACKE and then adjust Makefile with your system's library paths. Type make will generate an execuutable file cali.

Usage:

To run the code, type the following commend in a Linux terminal:

./cali param.txt

  • The code reads configurations from the file param.txt and does intercalibration by a Monte-Carlo Markov chain （MCMC） technique. param.txt specifies file names for continuum and line data, the steps of MCMC sampling and the built-in steps that are discarded.

  • The inter-clibrated continum and emission line fluxes are output into cont.txt and line.txt, respectively. The factors for inter-calibration are output into factor.txt. As a by-product, the code also reconstructs light curves, output into cont_recon.txt and line_recon.txt, respectively.
