Latitudinal delay

Function to plot the Latitudinal time delay

peristole.lat_td.delay_lat(pulsar, flag=0, dummy='default')

Latitudinal lensing delay

Provides latitudinal lensing delay for the dominant and subdominant images plotted as a function of longitude. Needs mass, axis, ecc, angle, omega, period, eta, zeta, alpha, phi_0 to be already declared.

Parameters
  • pulsar – An object of the pulsar class

  • flag – An optional argument which if set to 1 gives the plot for the subdominant case

Returns

The latitudinal lensing delay plot

Example call of the function:

example = pulsar() … delay_lat(example,1)
