bilby.gw.conversion.mass_2_and_chirp_mass_to_mass_ratio

bilby.gw.conversion.mass_2_and_chirp_mass_to_mass_ratio(mass_2, chirp_mass)

Calculate mass ratio from mass_1 and chirp_mass.

This involves solving mc = m2 * (1/q)**(3/5) / (1 + (1/q))**(1/5).

Parameters:

mass_2: float

Mass of the lighter object

chirp_mass: float

Chirp mass of the binary

Returns:

mass_ratio: float

Mass ratio of the binary
