Adding stopping frequency to SpinTaylor integrator.

Riccardo Sturani requested to merge riccardo-sturani/lalsuite:st_finalfreq into master

Description

This merge request adds the feature of passing a stopping frequency fEnd to the SpinTaylorTx wf approximants. The fEnd must be added as the FinalFreq entry of a LALDict structure.

API Changes and Justification

Backwards Compatible Changes

  • This change introduces no API changes
  • This change adds new API calls

It has been added the function XLALSimInspiralWaveformParamsLookupFinalFreq() to add fEnd to a LALDict structure (and its LookUp counterpart)

Backwards Incompatible Changes

  • This change modifies an existing API
  • This change removes an existing API

While the default behaviour of the XLALSimInspiralSpinTaylorDriver() is unaltered, the function now checks for an upper frequency value fRef, and if it is set to a positive value, the integration is stopped when it goes past it.

Review Status

To ease the check of the functionality of the patch, the following script may help final_freq_test.py
