Visualizing a simple GW chirp signal

3 minute read

Published:

The gravitational waveform from inspiralling binaries is known as a chirp waveform. The amplitude and the frequency of the waveform increases with time and hence it is called a chirp (similar to a bird’s chirp). Here I’ll go through the steps to compute a simple waveform for inspiralling binaries in Python.

In a series of posts I will go through basics of inspiralling compact binaries. In this post, I will go over the study of the study of binary system, and how the orbital motion affects the emission of Gravitational Waves (GWs).
