# RMNest

*RMNest* is an open source python package for estimating both standard and generalised
rotation measures via direct fits to Stokes *Q*, *U* and *V* spectra.

## Installation

The latest release of *RMNest* can be installed from [PyPi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rmnest) by running
the following

```bash
pip install rmnest
```

Note that while a working installation of the PSRCHIVE Python-3 bindings is
not necessary for using *RMNest*, it is strongly recommended.

## Requirements

The following packages are required to running *RMNest*.

- numpy: Array manipulation

- matplotlib: Modules for plotting

- bilby: Inference calculations framework

- dynesty: Modules for nested sampling

## Usage

*RMNest* can be run directly from the command line within using `rmnest`.
As an example, the below command would run a standard rotation-measure fit on the provided test data after frequency-averaging to 128 channels
within a [pulse] phase window between phase = 0.45 to 0.55

```bash
rmnest archive test/2020-03-16-18\:12\:00.calib.ST -o test/output/ -l testrun --window 0.45:0.55 -f 128
```

Alternatively, fitting for the generalised form of Faraday rotation, sometimes referred to as Faraday conversion
(see e.g. [Kennett & Melrose 1998](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998PASA...15..211K/abstract)), can be performed
by adding the ``--gfr`` and ``--free_alpha`` flags as

```bash
rmnest <archive>.ar -o <outdir> -l testrun --window 0.45:0.55 --gfr --free_alpha
```

Omitting the `--free_alpha` flag will result in the spectral exponent being fixed to 3. Details of the underlying phenomenological model can be
found in a technical document by [Lower (2021)](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021arXiv210809429L).

The likelihood and Faraday rotation models, as well as the general `RMFit` class in `fit_RM.py`, can also be imported like any other API.

## Issues and Contributing

If you encounter any issues with *RMNest*, or have in mind a feature that
currently does not exist, then you can contribute by openning a
[Github Issue](https://github.com/mlower/rmnest/issues) and outlining the feature.

## Referencing RMNest

If you make use of *RMNest* in your research, we would greatly appreciate it if you
cite both the ASCL entry ([Lower et al. 2022](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022ascl.soft04008L))
and the papers behind its development.
