◆ LALAdvLIGOPsd() [1/2]

void LALAdvLIGOPsd ( LALStatus UNUSED *  status,
REAL8 psd,
REAL8  f 
)

Module to calculate the noise power spectral density for the initial LIGO detector.

Author
Sathyaprakash, B. S.

Description

This function module takes as an input a frequency \(f\) in Hz, and it calculates the noise spectral density (per Hz) \(S_{h}(f)\) for that frequency. The noise PSD is based on data provided by Kip Thorne, and the fit by B.S.Sathyaprakash

\begin{equation} S_h(f) = S_0\left\{ \left(\frac{f}{f_0}\right)^{-4.14} - 5\left(\frac{f_0}{f}\right)^2 + 111 \left(\frac{1. - \frac{f}{f_0}^2 + 0.5 \frac{f}{f_0}^4}{1. + 0.5\frac{f}{f_0}^2} \right)\right\}; \end{equation}

where, \(f_0=215\)Hz The returned value is scaled up by \(S_0 = 10^{49}.\)

◆ LALColoredNoise()

void LALColoredNoise ( LALStatus status,
REAL4Vector noisy,
REAL8Vector  psd 
)

This function colors a given white noise input into a colored noise of power spectral density psd.

Author
Sathyaprakash, B. S.

Description

Given the Fourier transform \(N(f)\) of white noise, the Fourier transform of noise of power spectral density \(S(f)\) is given by \({\cal N}(f) = N(f) \times \sqrt{S(f)}.\) In the discrete version there is an additional normalisation:

\[{\cal N}_k = N_k \times \sqrt{\frac{2 S_k}{n}},\ \ {\cal N}_{n-k} = N_{n-k} \times \sqrt{\frac{2 S_k}{n}},\ \ k=1, \ldots, \frac{n}{2}.\]

◆ LALEGOPsd() [1/2]

void LALEGOPsd ( LALStatus UNUSED *  status,
REAL8 psd,
REAL8  f 
)

Function to calculate the noise power spectral density for the EGO detector.

Author
Cokelaer T.

Description

The module takes as an input a frequency \(f\) in Hz, and it calculates the noise spectral density (per Hz) \(S_{h}(f)\) for that frequency. The noise PSD is based on data provided by grqc/0607092

\begin{equation} S_h(f) = s_0 \left\{ x^{p_1} + a_1x^{p_2} +a_2 \frac{1+b_1x +b_2x^2+b_3x^3+b_4x^4+b_5x^5+b_6x^6}{1+c_1x+c_2x^2+c_3x^3+c_4x^4} \right\} \end{equation}

where \(S_0=1.61e-51\)\ \(p_1=-4.05, p_2=-0.69\)\ \(a_1=185.62, a_2=232.56\)\ \(b_1 = 31.18, b_2=-64.72, b_3=52.24, b_4=-42.16, b_5=10.17, b_6=11.53\)\ and \(c_1=13.58, c_2 = -36.46, c_3=18.56, c_4=27.43\)

◆ XLALETBPsd()

REAL8 XLALETBPsd ( REAL8  f)

Function to calculate the noise power spectral density of the projected ET-B detector.

Author
Craig Robinson

Fit taken from a Matlab script by T. Dent which can be found at: https://workarea.et-gw.eu/et/WG4-Astrophysics/base-sensitivity/

Definition at line 30 of file LALETBPsd.c.

◆ LALGEOPsd() [1/2]

void LALGEOPsd ( LALStatus UNUSED *  status,
REAL8 psd,
REAL8  f 
)

Module to calculate the expected noise power spectral density for the GEO600 detector.

Author
Sathyaprakash, B. S.

Description

The module takes as an input a frequency \(f\) in Hz, and it calculates the noise spectral density (per Hz) \(S_{h}(f)\) for that frequency. The noise PSD is based on data provided by J. Hough and G. Cagnoli (see T. Damour, B.R. Iyer and B.S. Sathyaprakash, Phys. Rev. D 63, 044023 (2001)) and is approximated by the following:

\begin{equation} S_h(f) = 10^{-16} \left ( \frac{f}{f_0} \right)^{-30} + 34 \frac{f_0 }{ f } + \frac{20 \left [1 - (f/f_0)^2 + 0.5 (f/f_0)^4 \right ] }{ 1 + 0.5 (f/f_0)^2} \end{equation}

The returned value is scaled up by \(s_0 = 10^{46}.\) In otherwords, the expected noise PSD is a factor \(10^{46}\) lower.

Definition at line 52 of file LALGEOPsd.c.

◆ XLALLIGOIPsd()

REAL8 XLALLIGOIPsd ( REAL8  f)

Calculate the Initial LIGO SRD noise spectral density at given a frequency.

The input is frequency in Hz, and the return value is the noise spectral density, \(S_{h}(f)\), for that frequency.

The noise PSD is based on data provided by K. Blackburn (see [8]) and is approximated by the following:

\[ S_h(f) = 9 \times 10^{-46} \left[ \left( 4.49 \frac{f}{f_0} \right)^{-56} + 0.16 \left( \frac{f}{f_0} \right)^{-4.52} + 0.52 + 0.32 \left( \frac{f}{f_0} \right)^2 \right] \]

Multiply the return value of this function by \(2 \Delta f\) to put it in the same units as used by the LAL average spectrum functions like XLALWhitenCOMPLEX16FrequencySeries().

Definition at line 50 of file LALLIGOIPsd.c.

◆ LALLIGOIPsd() [1/2]

void LALLIGOIPsd ( LALStatus UNUSED *  status,
REAL8 psd,
REAL8  f 
)

Legacy LAL wrapper of XLALLIGOIPsd().

Note that the return value is scaled up by $s_0 = 10^{46}/9.$ In otherwords, the expected noise PSD is \(9 \times 10^{-46}\) times the return value.

Deprecated:
Use XLALLIGOIPsd() instead.

Definition at line 65 of file LALLIGOIPsd.c.

◆ LALNoiseSpectralDensity()

void LALNoiseSpectralDensity ( LALStatus status,
REAL8Vector psd,
void(*)(LALStatus *status, REAL8 *shf, REAL8 f NoisePsd,
REAL8  df 
)

This function generates an array of size specified in the vector psd, that is psd.length. The inputs are.

Author
Sathyaprakash, B. S.
  1. The lenght of the psd array required: this must be given as a non-zero positive integer by setting the length of the psd vector to the desired value;
  2. Frequency resolution df in Hz.
  3. Pointer to a function that should be used in generating the power spectral density values in units of Hz \(^{-1}.\) This function must necessarily be of the type: void (*NoisePsd)(LALStatus *status, REAL8 *shf, REAL8 f).

Presently, there are four such functions in the noisemodels package. These are LALGEOPsd, LALLIGOIPsd, LALTAMAPsd, LALVIRGOPsd. These four packages return a scaled PSD while this module returns the correctly scaled version. It is assumed that new PSD modules return unscaled versions. (Note, however, that it might be better to use the scaled versions of the PSD when computing the metric on the signal manifold; this is because computing the metric involves calculation of many moments of the noise PSD and one might encounter round-off errors if un-scaled version of PSD is used; I have not checked this to be the case but suspect that there might be some problems.)

◆ LALTAMAPsd() [2/2]

void LALTAMAPsd ( LALStatus UNUSED *  status,
REAL8 psd,
REAL8  f 
)

Function to calculate the noise power spectral density for the TAMA detector.

Author
Sathyaprakash, B. S.

Description

The module takes as an input a frequency \(f\) in Hz, and it calculates the noise spectral density (per Hz) \(S_{h}(f)\) for that frequency. The noise PSD is based on data provided by M.-K Fujimoto (see T. Damour, B.R. Iyer and B.S. Sathyaprakash, Phys. Rev. D 63, 044023 (2001)) and is approximated by the following:

\begin{equation} S_h(f) = \left ( \frac{f}{f_0} \right )^{-5} + 13 \frac{f_0}{f} + 9 \left [1 + \left( \frac{f}{f_0} \right)^2 \right ]. \end{equation}

The returned value is scaled up by \(s_0 = 10^{46}/75.\) In otherwords, the expected noise PSD is \(75 \times 10^{-46}\) times the returned value.

◆ LALVIRGOPsd() [2/2]

void LALVIRGOPsd ( LALStatus UNUSED *  status,
REAL8 psd,
REAL8  f 
)

Module to calculate the noise power spectral density for the VIRGO detector.

Author
Sathyaprakash, B. S., Cokelaer T.

Description

The module takes as an input a frequency \(f\) in Hz, and it calculates the noise spectral density (per Hz) \(S_{h}(f)\) for that frequency. The noise PSD is based on data provided by J-Y. Vinet and is approximated by the following:

\begin{equation} S_h(f) = s_0 \left ( \frac {7.87f}{f_0} \right )^{-4.8} + \frac{6}{17} \frac{f_0}{f} + \left [1 + \left (\frac {f}{f_0} \right)^2 \right ], \end{equation}

where \(s_0=10.2e-46\)
