bilby.gw.geometry.antenna_response

bilby.gw.geometry.antenna_response(detector_tensor, ra, dec, time, psi, mode)

Calculate the antenna response for a detector.

Parameters:
detector_tensor: array-like

The detector tensor (3x3 matrix).

ra: float or array-like

Right ascension of the source in radians.

dec: float or array-like

Declination of the source in radians.

time: float or array-like

GPS time of the observation.

psi: float or array-like

Polarization angle in radians.

mode: str

Polarization mode (‘plus’, ‘cross’, ‘breathing’, ‘longitudinal’, ‘x’, ‘y’).

Returns:
array-like

The antenna response (scalar or array depending on input).
