Epic Hypothesis Statement (https://www.scaledagileframework.com/epic/)
| For | Pulsar science community and stakeholders that use the SDP/SRCs pulsar-timing reduction software and the pulsar-timing CSP engine |
| who | Need to process time-domain pulsar data from highly-accelerated (relativistic) binary orbits |
| the | Improved pulsar-timing software |
| is a | High-precision pulsar-data processing tool |
| that | Utilises precise timing parameter files as input |
| Unlike | Previous versions of this software |
| our solution | implements the necessary corrections to the pulse arrival times via 2D polynomial predictors, thus enabling accurate timing of pulsar signals and allowing scientists to combine different observations of relativistic-binary pulsars towards increasing S/N |
| Outcome hypothesis | Updated versions of PSRCHIVE and DPSR with the capability to accepts TEMPO2 2D polynomial phase-predictors |
| Leading Indicators | Demonstration that the timing precision of the updated software (DPSR/PSRCHIVE) can match that of reference timing software (i.e. TEMPO2) |
| NFRs | Reliability, Maintainability, Observability, Diagnosability, Modifiability, and Robustness |
