`src/scripts/`
analysis and plotting scripts:
- `bioverse_pipeline.py`: Generates the datasets for the paper using _Bioverse_
- `SEDs.py`: Generates the SEDs used in Appendix A
- `bayes_rho-a.py`: Not used in the paper
- `detections_uv.py`: plot detections in NUV space
- `hz_nuv_evo.py`: plot the evolution of the NUV flux and the HZ
- `inhabited-aafo-nuv_thresh.py`: plot the fraction of inhabited planets as a function of the NUV threshold
- `inhabited_FGKM.py`: plots simulated transit surveys targeting FGK and M stars
- `matplotlibrc`: matplotlib configuration file
- `nuv_distribution.py`: plot the distribution of measured maximum NUV irradiance for inhabited and non-inhabited planets in FGK and M stars 
- `paths.py`: common paths useful for manipulating datasets and generating figures.
- `plotstyle.py`: plot style definitions
- `powergrid.py`: plot statistical power as a function of threshold NUV flux and abiogenesis rate
- `semian_true_evidence.py`: creates plots for the semi-analytical analysis 
- `surveys_FGKM.py`: creates multi-panel plot of simulated transit surveys targeting FGK and M stars 
- `utils.py`: utility functions for the analysis
