Self Lensing simulations of WD-WD pairs

Description

These are netCDF files, created using python/xarray. They contain the simulation results gotten from running the self_lens package (https://github.com/guynir42/self_lens) with a few surveys (ZTF, TESS, LSST, DECAM, CURIOS, CURIOS_ARRAY, LAST) over simulated binaries containing two white dwarfs (WDs). 

Each file contains the results for the number of detections and effective volume for one survey, over a large parameter space of WD-WD binaires. For each binary we simulate the self-lensing flare and estimate the ability of a survey to observe that flare, at different distances of the system from Earth. 

These datasets are needed to make the plots for an upcoming paper (Nir & Bloom, in prep). In the self_lens package, run the test_produce_plots.py to pull down these files to a local folder and use them to make plots. 

An accompanying dataset includes the same files for WDs in binaries with neutron stars and black holes (BHs).
