bilby.gw.geometry.get_polarization_tensor

bilby.gw.geometry.get_polarization_tensor(ra, dec, time, psi, mode)

Calculate the polarization tensor for a given sky location and mode.

Parameters:

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’, or ‘y’.

Returns:
