Project GW polarizations onto detector

Computes detector strain by projecting plus and cross polarizations using Earth rotation and antenna pattern.

Usage

proj_wave(hp, hc, det, ra, dec, pol, t_gps)

Arguments

hp

A ts object. Plus polarization waveform.

hc

A ts object. Cross polarization waveform.

det

A character. Detector abbreviation.

ra

A numeric. Right Ascension (radians).

dec

A numeric. Declination (radians).

pol

A numeric. Polarization angle (radians).

t_gps

A numeric. GPS time of source arrival at Earth's center.

Value

A projected waveform as a ts object.

Details

This function interfaces with Python's pycbc library using reticulate. Please ensure that the required Python packages are available in your environment.
