Introduce a range_spectrogram method as a figure-of-merit
Created by: alurban
This PR introduces two new functions in gwpy.astro
:
range_timeseries
range_spectrogram
Unit tests and documentation examples for these new functions are also included.
The range_spectrogram
utility works by first calculating a standard PSD spectrogram (or accepting one as an input), then stepping through its time bins, passing each PSD measurement to either the astro.burst_range_spectrum
or astro.inspiral_range_psd
function depending on the use case. The range_timeseries
utility follows a similar procedure, but returns a TimeSeries
record of the output of astro.burst_range
or astro.inspiral_range
.
Notes:
- This PR is mainly to address requests from Advanced LIGO commissioners, who want to analyze spectral contributions to the binary neutron star inspiral range on the LIGO summary pages
- Both methods default to a 1.4-1.4 binary neutron star (BNS) inspiral range, but support either inspiral (of arbitrary masses) or burst (of arbitrary energy) range calculations
