Interstellar Transit Durations

I have so many questions concerning this semi-logarithmic graph! 

Interstellar Transit Durations in Ship Time for a= 1g (All times should be doubled to all for deceleration)

Is this a relativistic travel calculator for a hypothetical near-light-speed ship?

Ship time! relativistic proper time experienced on the spacecraft?

I hope to get a closer look in the archives!
