remove mass-gap category

Deep Chatterjee requested to merge remove-mass-gap into master

astrophysical categories are now BNS, NSBH, BBH. Templates greater that 3 solar mass are considered BHs.

@shasvath.kapadia would you please look over the change. This is to remove the mass gap. In summary, I have

  • removed mass-gap weight - templates > 3 solar mass are now BHs
  • I have updated the mean counts static file removing Counts_MassGap, and updating Counts_BBH and Counts_NSBH by distributing the mass gap weights equally between these categories.
  • This change does not affect previous values significantly (unittests give roughly the same answer).
  • Further fine-grained changes can be taken as a next step.
