1. You will find here simulated light curves containing short-period pulsations, created with SIXTE and SRCTOOL.
Some basic infos:
* The SIXTE event files were created for a source flux of 1e-11 erg/s, with a power-law spectrum (nH=0.5, Gamma=2).
* The input light curves for SIXTE are sine functions with amplitudes varying from 0.4 to 1.0, with periods from 0.5 to 10 s and time sampling of 0.1 s.
* The total duration of the observations are 9e4 s, corresponding to 7 consecutive scans.
* From the event files created by SIXTE, light curves are generated using the eSASS SRCTOOL, with 0.1 s time sampling.

2. The code to perform Lomb-Scargle period search on eROSITA/SRCTOOL light curves is available here:
* It is optimized to find short period (few seconds) pulsations on either single or multiple consecutive scans.
* It optionally calculate confidence levels using the Wild Bootstrap method (flux randomization).
* A Gaussian function is fitted on the highest peak to retrieve the best period and estimation of the period error (1 sigma of the fitted function).
* Output parameters are the best period, the standard deviation of the fitted Gaussian function and confidence levels values.
