XLALSimInspiralNSRadiusOfLambdaM()

REAL8 XLALSimInspiralNSRadiusOfLambdaM	(	REAL8	m_intr_msun,
		REAL8	barlambda
	)

This function estimates the radius of a NS of a given mass and tidal deformability parameter, based on the "I-Love-Q forever" relation of Maselli et al, arXiv:1304.2052v1.

To be used for masses within [1.2,2]M_sun, and preferably not for strange quark stars (since the relation is calibrated for this mass range and for the EoS APR4, MS1, H4). For a BH, (lambda=0) it returns the Schwarzschild radius. The arguments are: m_intr_msun the intrinsic mass in solar masses barlambda the dimensionless tidal deformability (lambda/m^5) The return value is the radius in meters.

XLALSimInspiralContactFrequency()

REAL8 XLALSimInspiralContactFrequency	(	REAL8	m1_intr,
		REAL8	barlambda1,
		REAL8	m2_intr,
		REAL8	barlambda2
	)

This function estimates the radius for a binary of given masses and tidal deformability parameters.

It uses XLALSimInspiralNSRadiusOfLambdaM() to calculate radii (see above). The arguments are: m1_intr, m2_intr the intrinsic masses in solar masses barlambda1, barlambda2 the dimensionless tidal deformabilities (lambda_i/m_i^5) The return value is the GW contact frequency in Hz.
