PBjam is an open-source software package for measuring mode frequencies of solar-like oscillators. These frequencies help constrain stellar evolution models to precisely estimate masses, radii, and ages of stars. The overall aim of PBjam is to simplify this process to the point where it may be done by nonexperts or performed on thousands of stars with minimal interaction. The initial release of PBjam was restricted to only identifying modes of ℓ = 0 and ℓ = 2, since these are the simplest to treat consistently across different stellar evolutionary stages. Here we introduce a new set of three separate models, which lets PBjam automatically identify ℓ = 1 modes in stars that experience varying degrees of coupling between p- and g-modes. These include a simple asymptotic relation for p-modes that can be applied to main-sequence stars, a matrix formalism aimed at treating frequency dependent coupling in subgiants, and a uniform coupling model that is suitable for red giants. These models follow the Bayesian methodology established in the first release of PBjam, where a large set of previous observations is used to construct a nonparametric prior probability density for the new set of model parameters. This extension allows PBjam to build a more complete description of the power due to oscillations across a wider range of evolutionary stages.
