Dipole analysis (COMPLETE)

This is to study the dipole structure in the Gaia DR2 quasar proper motions (uses Lmax=1 and type 2 and 3 data):

• Dipole run: README, POSTERIOR, and PLOTS.

Quadrupole analysis (NOT STARTED)

I would next like to run two quadrupole (Lmax=2) analyses (one with and one without --mod_basis) on the same dataset. These will be used to show the benefit of the change of basis.

• VSH_basis run: (i.e. python3 main.py --Lmax 2 --dataset 4)
• Mod_basis run: (i.e. python3 main.py --Lmax 2 --dataset 4 --mod_basis)

Higher harmonics (NOT STARTED)

Final "production runs"; these are the runs we will actually use to place limits. For these runs I imagine we will only use mod_basis. I would like to have runs with Lmax=3 and Lmax=4.

• Lmax=3 run: (i.e. python3 main.py --Lmax 3 --dataset 4 --mod_basis)
• Lmax=4 run: (i.e. python3 main.py --Lmax 4 --dataset 4 --mod_basis)
