Maintenance will be performed on git.ligo.org, containers.ligo.org, and docs.ligo.org on Tuesday 24 March 2025 starting at approximately 8:30am PDT. It is expected to take around 30 minutes and there will be several periods of downtime throughout the maintenance. Please address any comments, concerns, or questions to the helpdesk.
The small remaining discrepancy between Hong and gwinc is due to an error in gwinc's implementation of the Yam et al model.
The coefficient in front of the phase derivative dcdp_z
is
supposed to be nN
(as written correctly in Yam et al, eq 1),
not nN/2
(as found in gwinc).
In Hong et al, the coefficient is nN/2
, but that's because
their phases are defined as one-way instead of round-trip (see
Yam et al, eq A2).
After correcting the error, gwinc and Hong agree, as expected, for the case of equal bulk and shear losses and no photoelasticity.
