redback.transient_models.magnetar_models.gw_magnetar(time, a_1, alpha_1, fgw0, tau, nn, log_ii, **kwargs)[source]
Parameters:
  • time – time in seconds

  • A_1 – amplitude of curvature effect power law

  • alpha_1 – index of curvature effect power law

  • fgw0 – initial gravitational-wave frequency

  • tau – spin-down damping timescale

  • nn – braking index

  • log_ii – log10 moment of inertia

  • eta – fixed to 0.1, its a fudge factor for the efficiency

  • kwargs – key word arguments for handling plotting/other functionality

Returns:

luminosity
