Abstract
Wagg et al., (2022). LEGWORK: A python package for computing the evolution and detectability of stellar-origin gravitational-wave sources with space-based detectors. Journal of Open Source Software, 7(70), 3998, https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.03998
Highlights
LEGWORK can be used to evolve the orbits of sources due to gravitational wave emission, calculate gravitational wave strains, compute signal-to-noise ratios and visualise the results
It can be applied to a variety of potential sources, including binaries consisting of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes
We focus on double compact objects, in principle LEGWORK can be used for any system with a user-specified orbital evolution, such as those affected by a third object or gas drag
Summary
LEGWORK: A python package for computing the evolution and detectability of stellar-origin gravitational-wave sources with space-based detectors
