Detailed Description

Provides a set of utilities for manipulating simInspiralTables.

Author: Brown, D. A.

Description

The function LALInspiralSiteTimeAndDist() calculates detector end time (endTime) and effective distance (effDist) for an inspiral signal from a specific location in the sky (skyPos) assumed to be given in equatorial coordinates. The detector end time is obtained by using LALTimeDelayFromEarthCenter(), while the effective distance requires calculation of the detector response, calculated using LALComputeDetAMResponse().

The function LALPopulateSimInspiralSiteInfo() populates the end time and effective distance for each of the interferometer sites. The sky location (in equatorial coordinates) is assumed to be already contained in the input SimInspiralTable. The end time and effective distance for each site is calculated by calling LALInspiralSiteTimeAndDist() once for each of the detectors, and setting the detector appropriately.

Algorithm

None.

Uses

LALGetInspiralParams(), LALGPStoGMST1(), LALTimeDelayFromEarthCenter(), LALComputeDetAMResponse().
