bilby.gw.conversion.lambda_1_lambda_2_to_lambda_antisymmetric(lambda_1, lambda_2)[source]

Convert from individual tidal parameters to antisymmetric tidal term.

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

Parameters:
lambda_1: float

Tidal parameter of more massive neutron star.

lambda_2: float

Tidal parameter of less massive neutron star.

Returns
======
lambda_antisymmetric: float

Antisymmetric tidal parameter.
