bilby.gw.conversion.lambda_1_lambda_2_to_lambda_tilde(lambda_1, lambda_2, mass_1, mass_2)[source]

Convert from individual tidal parameters to domainant tidal term.

See, e.g., Wade et al., https://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.5156.pdf.

Parameters:

lambda_1: float: Tidal parameter of more massive neutron star.
lambda_2: float: Tidal parameter of less massive neutron star.
mass_1: float: Mass of more massive neutron star.
mass_2: float: Mass of less massive neutron star.

Returns:

lambda_tilde: float: Dominant tidal term.
