lalburst.snglcoinc Namespace Reference

Data Structures
class	coincgen_doubles
	Using a pair of singlesqueue objects, constructs pairs of coincident events from streams of partially time-ordered events. More...
class	CoincRates
class	CoincTables
	A convenience interface to the XML document's coincidence tables, allowing for easy addition of coincidence events. More...
class	LnLikelihoodRatioMixin
	Mixin to assist in implementing a log likelihood ratio ranking statistic class. More...
class	LnLRDensity
	Base class for parameter distribution densities for use in log likelihood ratio ranking statistics. More...
class	singlesqueue
	Queue a stream of partially time ordered events: as new events are added, sort them into the queue in time order; maintain a record of the time up-to which the list of events is complete; and provide events sorted in time order to coincidence tests. More...
class	TimeSlideGraph
class	TimeSlideGraphNode
class	TOATriangulator
	Time-of-arrival triangulator. More...

Functions
def	light_travel_time (instrument1, instrument2)
	Compute and return the time required for light to travel through free space the distance separating the two instruments. More...

light_travel_time()

def lalburst.snglcoinc.light_travel_time	(		instrument1,
			instrument2
	)

Compute and return the time required for light to travel through free space the distance separating the two instruments.

The inputs are two instrument prefixes (e.g., "H1"), and the result is returned in seconds. Note how this differs from LAL's XLALLightTravelTime() function, which takes two detector objects as input, and returns the time truncated to integer nanoseconds.
