Project description

license Build Status

Welcome to surfinBH!

Point Break

surfinBH provides surrogate final Black Hole properties for mergers of binary black holes (BBH). Just like Point Break, but with black holes!

These fits are described in the following papers:
[1] Vijay Varma, Davide Gerosa, Francois Hebert and Leo C. Stein, 2018, in preparation.

If you find this package useful in your work, please cite reference [1] and, if available, the relevant paper describing the particular model.

This package lives on GitHub and is tested every day with Travis CI. You can see the current build status of the master branch at the top of this page.
