createSpectrum(flow, sampleRate=4096, nPoints=1048576)

source code 

Computes the approximate spectrum of LIGO-I.

Parameters:
  • flow - The lower cutoff frequency
  • sampleRate - The sample rate used (default: 4096)
  • nPoints, The, number, of, points, (default - 1048576)

computeCandleDistance(candleM1, candleM2, fLow, spectrum=None, snr=8.0, sampleRate=4096, nPoints=1048576)

source code 

Computes the candle distance as computed in inspiralutils.c. This code has been tested on 21 Feb 2008 and the derivation between these calculated values with the LAL code is less than 2 Percent.

Parameters:
  • candleM1 - The mass of the first component (Solar masses)
  • candleM2 - The mass of the second component (Solar masses)
  • flow - The lower cutoff frequency
  • spectrum - The PSD that has been calculated earlier
  • snr - The SNR at which the distance is calculated (default: 8)
  • sampleRate - The sample rate used (default: 4096)
  • nPoints, The, number, of, points, (default - 1048576)
