This comprehensive guide discusses various tools and utilities designed for analyzing pulsar and gamma-ray burst (GRB) data. Key features include pulsar phase assignment, GRB spectral and temporal analysis, and observation simulation tools. The tools facilitate data extraction, exposure calculations, and allow users to visualize instrument response functions (IRFs) and manage lifetimes efficiently. Several user-friendly interfaces, including command line and GUI options, enhance accessibility and usability for researchers. This document provides insights into the standard analysis environment for effective astronomical research.
