Self Lensing simulations of WD-NS and WD-BH pairs

<p>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 a white dwarf&nbsp;(WD) and either a Neutron Star (NS) or a Black Hole (BH). The two companion types are equivalent for these simulations, except that black holes are more massive than neutron stars.&nbsp;</p> <p>Each file contains the results for the number of detections and effective volume for one survey, over a large parameter space of WD-NS or WD-BH&nbsp;binaries. 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.&nbsp;</p> <p>These datasets are needed to make the plots for an upcoming paper (Nir &amp; 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.&nbsp;</p> <p>An accompanying dataset includes the same files for WD-WD binaries.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
