Raw Data
 
- Uncalibrated X-ray data is given in ./raw_data
 
- Radio data is too large in size to be stored on Zenodo. If you want to acquire these images, but can be found under https://data.nrao.edu searching for project code SF8027
 
- Raw data for the optical spectra can be acquired by contacting J. van den Eijnden
 
Software
 
- OS: MacOS Big Sur 11.6
 
Programming languages:
 
- Python (3.9.7), matplotlib, numpy, pandas, scipy, linmix
 
- Jupyter Notebook (6.3.0)
 
NASA HEASARC's Software:
 
- xrtpipeline (version 0.13.5)
 
- caldb in the heasoft package (version 6.26.1)
 
- xselect (version v2.4g)
 
- xrtmkarf (version 0.6.3)
 
- xspec (v. 12.10.1f)

Figures and Tables
 
- scripts and data to make the figures and tables can be found in ./figures_tables
 
- figure 4, 5, 6, and 7 are made by collaborators. Please contact J. van den Eijnden if you would like access to data files or scripts for these figures.
 
- X-ray lightcurve fit results in Table 3 is done by collaborators. Please contact J. van den Eijnden if you would like access to data files or scripts for this table.
 
Intermediate data products  
 
- Intermediate data products can be found in the directory ./intermediate_data
 
- This includes the calibrated X-ray data, VLA imaging scripts to determine the flux density and spectral index.
 
- Scripts can also be found here for intermediate data products for several figures (1, 2, 3, 8)
 
Scientific-analysis
 
- The directory ./scientific_analysis contains scripts and data to reduce the raw data to the intermediate data products.
 
- ./Xray_files how to calibrate the Swift X-ray spectra
 
- ./Xray_spectral_evolution contains how the intermediate data products for figure 3
 
- ./VLA_data_reduction how to reduce the VLA data and determine flux densities and spectral indices
 
- ./Radio_Xray_Coupling contains the intermediate data products for figure 2
 
- ./Xray_lightcurve_fitting contains intermediate data products for Table 3 and fitting performed in section 3.4
 
- ./Orbital_Period contains intermediate data products for Table 4 and Figure 8
 
- ./xray contains backup files related to the x-ray spectra
 
- ./radio contains backup files related to the radio data
 
- the main results (intermediate data products) are the .txt files in this directory
