- bilby.gw.conversion.lambda_symmetric_lambda_antisymmetric_to_lambda_1_lambda_2(lambda_symmetric, lambda_antisymmetric)[source]
Convert from symmetric and antisymmetric tidal terms to lambda_1 and lambda_2
See, e.g., Yagi & Yunes, https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.02639
- Parameters:
- lambda_symmetric: float
Symmetric tidal parameter.
- lambda_antisymmetric: float
Antisymmetric tidal parameter.
- Returns
- ======
- lambda_1: float
Tidal parameter of more massive neutron star.
- lambda_2: float
Tidal parameter of less massive neutron star.
