A python package to compute gravitational wave evolution and signal to noise ratio calculations for LISA
Project description
The LISA Evolution and Gravitational Wave ORbit Kit
A python package that does the LEGWORK for you by evolving binaries,
computing signal-to-noise ratios for binary systems potentially observable with LISA
and visualising the results.
