Sensitivity Estimation for Gravitational-Wave Observatories

Sensitivity Estimation for Gravitational-Wave Observatories

Easily build the noise and sensitivity curves for your favorite gravitational-wave detector!

This package provides tools to build time and frequency-dependent noise covariance matrices under the assumption of local stationnarity; to compute the response of a gravitational-wave detector with an arbitrary number of links, and sky average the response; to transform the noise and the signal to an arbitrary set of observables; and finally, to compute the optimal sensitivity for a given set of observables.

Install

The package is available on PyPI. You can install it with

pip install segwo

The documentation for the latest stable release can be found here.

Report an issue

We use the issue-tracking management system associated with the project provided by Gitlab. If you want to report a bug or request a feature, open an issue at https://gitlab.com/j2b.bayle/segwo/-/issues. You may also thumb-up or comment on existing issues.

Development environment

This project uses Poetry 2 for dependency management. To install the dependencies and the project itself, run the following command:

poetry install

We recommend you install pre-commit hooks to detect errors before you even commit.

pre-commit install

You can now run commands inside a dedicated virtual environment by running

poetry run <your-command>

Refer to the Poetry documentation for more information.

Syntax

We enforce PEP 8 (Style Guide for Python Code) with Pylint syntax checking, and code formatting with Black. Both are implemented in the continuous integration system, and merge requests cannot be merged if it fails. Pre-commit hooks will also run Black before you commit.

You can run them locally with

poetry run pylint segwo
poetry run black .

Unit tests

Correction of the code is checked by the pytest testing framework. It is implemented in the continuous integration system, but we recommend you run the tests locally before you commit, with

poetry run pytest
