Trained neural network data for synchrotron radiative transfer in the Stokes basis, power law model, computed by rimphony, for consumption by neurosynchro

<p>This archive contains data representing a trained-up neural network suitable for use with the <a href="https://github.com/pkgw/neurosynchro/">neurosynchro</a> package. The network generates coefficients that can be used for numerical radiative transfer of synchrotron emission in the Stokes basis with a package such as <a href="https://github.com/jadexter/grtrans/">grtrans</a>.</p> <p>In this particular dataset, networks were trained on a training set of coefficients generated by <a href="https://github.com/pkgw/rimphony/">rimphony</a> that is available as <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1341154">DOI:10.5281/zenodo.1341154</a>. The data were generated using a model of a power law electron distribution isotropic in pitch angle. The input parameters, which were sampled randomly in a three-dimensional space, were:</p> <ul> <li><em>s</em>, the harmonic number, dimensionless, sampled logarithmically between 5 and 50,000,000.</li> <li><em>theta</em>, the angle between the ray path and the local magnetic field, measured in radians, sampled linearly between 0.001 and &pi;/2 (namely, 1.5707963267948966).</li> <li><em>p</em>, the power-law index of the energetic electrons, dimensionless, sampled linearly between 1.5 and 7.</li> </ul> <p>The training set was computed on Harvard&rsquo;s Odyssey cluster using Git commit <a href="https://github.com/pkgw/rimphony/commit/772161ebda0217b8c1ccb8ce3801ad9dc3701a4f">772161</a> of rimphony. A total of about 5,000 CPU hours were used, with 500 processes running for about 10 hours each, yielding about 22 million numbers. Training the networks took about 3 hours on an 8-core laptop.</p> <p>For the purposes of <em>neurosynchro</em>, the formats of the files in this package should be regarded as internal implementation details. The <a href="https://pypi.org/project/neurosynchro/">neurosynchro</a> Python package will load up the files in this archive and use them to predict synchrotron coefficients.
