burst_range_spectrum¶

gwpy.astro.burst_range_spectrum(psd, snr=8, energy=0.01)[source]¶

Calculate the frequency-dependent GW burst range from a strain PSD

Parameters

psd : FrequencySeries

the instrumental power-spectral-density data

snr : float, optional

the signal-to-noise ratio for which to calculate range, default: 8

energy : float, optional

the relative energy output of the GW burst, default: 0.01 (GRB-like burst)

Returns

rangespec : FrequencySeries

the burst range FrequencySeries [Mpc (default)]
