bilby.gw.conversion.lambda_1_lambda_2_to_lambda_symmetric(lambda_1, lambda_2)

Convert from individual tidal parameters to symmetric tidal term.

See, e.g., Yagi & Yunes, https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.02639

Parameters:

lambda_1: float

Tidal parameter of more massive neutron star.

lambda_2: float

Tidal parameter of less massive neutron star.

Returns

======

lambda_symmetric: float

Symmetric tidal parameter.
