About PSRmatch

This package, PSRmatch, cross matches pulsars with Gaia to identify pulsar binary companions that are typically detectable in the Gaia (optical) wavelengths. It does this by taking in a list of pulsars, running them through a number of criteria to look at only those potentially useful in pulsar timing, searching in a small radius around the positions of each of the remaining pulsars, and gives back a list of any Gaia sources to result from this search. These sources are potentially binary companions to some of the original input pulsars. Further checks can be performed on these output matches, comparing the astrometric parameters of the Gaia sources to known parameters of certain pulsar companions, such as G-band magnitude.
