PHASE

This program will convert a time series into a "phase series" given the ephemeris of the periodicity. Note, that when plotted this will produce a linear phase axis, and not a time series labeled with phase values.

The user enters the coefficients of the ephemeris. These are:

COEFF1: Julian date of an occurrence of phase zero (days)
COEFF2: The periodicity at the time of COEFF1 (days)
COEFF3: 54dP/dt, unitless first derivative of period wrt time
