TotalMassConstraintPPE

GWCorrect.ppE.prior.TotalMassConstraintPPE(*,name,minimum_frequency,latex_label=r'$M$',boundary=None,
unit=r'$\mathrm{M}_\odot$',Mf_IM=0.018)

Generates a bilby prior that constrains the total mass to ensure that the ppE correction is always within the frequency band.

\[M<\frac{c^3[Mf_\mathrm{IM}]}{Gf_\mathrm{min}}\]

Parameters:

name: string

name of prior

minimum_frequency: float

lower bound on frequency band in Hz

latex_label: string, optional, (r’$M$’)

label for the parameter in LaTeX

boundary: string, optional, (None)

boundary condition for the prior

unit: string, optional, (r’$mathrm{M}_odot$’)

label for the unit of the parameter; default is solar mass

Mf_IM: float, optional, (0.018)

end of IMRPhenom inspiral regime in dimensionless units

Returns:

total_mass_prior: bilby.core.prior.base.Constraint

bilby constraint prior object for the total mass
