Relative arrival times of signal at detectors

Compute arrival time delays among detectors for a given sky position.

Usage

relpass_time(deltat, dets, ra, dec, t_gps, verbose = T)

Arguments

deltat

A numeric. Time resolution to round delays (in seconds).

dets

A character vector of detector abbreviations.

ra

A numeric. Right Ascension of the source (in radians).

dec

A numeric. Declination of the source (in radians).

t_gps

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

verbose

Logical. If TRUE, print intermediate results.

Value

If single detector, a list with time_rel and remainder. If multiple detectors, a list with matrix dt_rel, absolute delays dt_earth, and remainder.

Details

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