bilby.gw.detector.calibration.read_calibration_file

bilby.gw.detector.calibration.read_calibration_file(filename, frequency_array, number_of_response_curves, starting_index=0)[source]

Function to read the hdf5 files from the calibration group containing the physical calibration response curves.

Parameters:

filename: str: Location of the HDF5 file that contains the curves
frequency_array: array-like: The frequency values to calculate the calibration response curves at
number_of_response_curves: int: Number of random draws to use from the calibration file
starting_index: int: Index of the first curve to use within the array. This allows for segmenting the calibration curve array into smaller pieces.

Returns:

calibration_draws: array-like: Array which contains the calibration responses as a function of the frequency array specified. Shape is (number_of_response_curves x len(frequency_array))
