redback.utils.calculate_normalisation

redback.utils.calculate_normalisation(unique_frequency, model_1, model_2, tref, model_1_dict, model_2_dict)[source]

Calculate the normalisation for smoothly joining two models together at a reference time.

Parameters:

  • unique_frequency – An array of unique frequencies. Can be None in which case we assume there is only one normalisation.

  • model_1 – must be redback model with a normalisation parameter

  • model_2 – any redback model

  • tref – time which transition from model_1 to model_2 takes place

  • model_1_dict – dictionary of parameters and values for model 1

  • model_2 – dictionary of parameters and values for model 1

Returns:

normalisation, namedtuple corresponding to the normalisation for the specific frequency.

Could be bolometric luminosity, magnitude, or frequency
