nullstream

Null stream tools for gravitational wave astronomy

The repository is still at the early stages of development, any contributions are welcome!

Documentation

Under development. The code is documented with Python docstrings. Run python setup.py install to install nullstream on your local machine.

At the moment, there are classes with methods to calculate network and ET null stream from detector strain data, as well as PyCBC or Bilby time series data. There is also null stream likelihood function based on Bilby likelihood.
