This repository contains all of the code necessary to create the results and figures in Thiele+2021. In this study, we simulate populations of double white dwarf binaries which are orbiting in the frequency band observable by the future space-based gravitational wave detector LISA. Specificially, we investigate the effects of incorporating a metallicity-dependent binary fraction for the first time.
To begin, clone the hush repository to a local repository. Dependencies are detailed in environment.yml. To build the article locally, you should have the latest version of showyourwork! installed (pip install showyourwork).
Running the command showyourwork in the hush directory will dowload the results.hdf data set from this Zenodo and the FIRE.h5 data set from this Zenodo. Once that happens, the scripts to produce each figure will be run: CEsep.py, LISA_SNR.py, Mc_vs_dist.py, PSD.py, form_eff.py, lisa_nums.py, model_comp.py, and sfh_vs_fb.py.
Instead of running the pipeline, you can also just compile the paper directly from this GitHub. It will reference our existing data - which was created using this pipeline - in their respective Zenodo sites. When clicked, the "pdf" and "tarball" badges at the top of this README will compile and download the article PDF, or download a tarball containing all of the manuscript files, respectively.
This repository was created using the showyourwork framework. If you'd like to show your own work, check out the showyourwork docs here!
