bilby.gw.conversion.mass_1_and_chirp_mass_to_mass_ratio(mass_1, chirp_mass)[source]

Calculate mass ratio from mass_1 and chirp_mass.

This involves solving mc = m1 * q**(3/5) / (1 + q)**(1/5).

Parameters:
mass_1: float

Mass of the heavier object

chirp_mass: float

Mass of the lighter object

Returns:
mass_ratio: float

Mass ratio of the binary
