bilby.gw.conversion.lambda_1_lambda_2_to_delta_lambda_tilde(lambda_1, lambda_2, mass_1, mass_2)

Convert from individual tidal parameters to second domainant tidal term.

See, e.g., Wade et al., https://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.5156.pdf.

Parameters:

lambda_1: float

Tidal parameter of more massive neutron star.

lambda_2: float

Tidal parameter of less massive neutron star.

mass_1: float

Mass of more massive neutron star.

mass_2: float

Mass of less massive neutron star.

Returns:

delta_lambda_tilde: float

Second dominant tidal term.
