Code versions

Code versions are tagged on master. Code versions used in scientific papers are tagged with the arXiv number.

For detailed release notes of the most recent version see the CHANGES file.

Latest version

Quasi-circular precessing and non-precessing models for BBH, BNS and BHNS with higher modes, including EOB-SPA.

Pre-requisites

• C compiler (e.g. GCC)
• GSL library

Installation

TEOBResumS can be built as an executable or a python module using disutil.

PyPI

$ pip install teobresums

From source

$ git clone https://bitbucket.org/eob_ihes/teobresums.git
$ cd teobresums/Python/
$ python setup.py install

We strongly advise users to use anaconda.

C executable

To build the executable, check the compiler and compilation options in C/Makefile file and then:

$ git clone https://bitbucket.org/eob_ihes/teobresums.git
$ cd teobresums/C/
$ make

Usage

Run the executable:

$ cd /PATH/TO/teobresums/C/
$ ./TEOBResumS.x -p <parfile>

Example parfiles can be found in the directory C/par/.

Example scripts for using the python module can be instead found in Python/Examples/.

If you have a PyCBC installation, a plugin for TEOBResumS python module is available in PyCBC/ and should be automatically detected by PyCBC; see PyCBC/test.py.

Developers

Please contact Sebastiano Bernuzzi and Alessandro Nagar if you wish to be included in the list of developers.

A short description of the code can be found in here. Please, take a moment to understand the data structures and how the parameters are managed.

See here for a description of the workflow of this repo.

If you want to start a new branch or development make sure to

• Talk to us
• Run the benchmark before applying any change
• Run the benchmark after you applied your changes and before pushing them; compare and make sure you did not break anything.
