FRB Mock Catalog and Reproduction Package for "Birth and Evolution of Fast Radio Bursts: Strong Population-Based Evidence for a Neutron-Star Origin"

Quickstart: FRB Mock Catalog

A simulated 1-day catalog of one-off FRBs, that allows users to access the FRB population without installing the entire frbpoppy package. Download and unzip 1_Day_FRB_Sky_on_Earth.txt.zip (175 MB). This human and machine readable file contains 3.5E6 FRBs that are brighter than 0.01 Jy ms, the best limit in one-off FRB detection currently. The simulated catalog is produced by the perfect telescope in frbpoppy, free of selection effects, that observed 4pi of sky for 24 hrs, with minimum detectable fluence 0.01 Jy ms, for the best-fit no-delay SFR model. This file can be read using the accompanying jupyter notebook "starting_with_mock_catalog.ipynb".
