bilby.gw.conversion.lambda_symmetric_lambda_antisymmetric_to_lambda_2(lambda_symmetric, lambda_antisymmetric)[source]

Convert from symmetric and antisymmetric tidal terms to lambda_2

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

Parameters:

lambda_symmetric: float: Symmetric tidal parameter.
lambda_antisymmetric: float: Antisymmetric tidal parameter.
Returns
======
lambda_2: float: Tidal parameter of less massive neutron star.
