Theory files

Some examples require local greybody-factor tables.

Each example has a local theory/ folder where the required files should be placed:

examples/
  sxs_fit/
    theory/
  injection_recovery/
    theory/
  real_data/
    theory/

The exact files required by each example are listed in the corresponding example README.

Example

For an example that requires the files

Zed_abs.txt
Zed_phase.txt

place them in the local theory/ folder before running the script:

examples/example_name/theory/
  Zed_abs.txt
  Zed_phase.txt

Then, run each example from within its own folder. The required theory files are specified in the corresponding README.

Data availability

Greybody factors can be computed with the Mathematica codes included in this repository; see Mathematica greybody-factor code for details.

A precomputed table of greybody factors, sampled in spin and frequency for the (l,m)=(2,2) mode, is also available on Zenodo. This is the table required by the real-data and injection-recovery examples.

Download the Zenodo files and place them in the corresponding local theory/ folder before running the examples.
