Welcome to WF4Py’s documentation!

WF4Py is a user-friendly package implementing state-of-the-art frequency-domain gravitational wave waveform models in pure Python, thus enabling parallelisation over multiple events at a time. All the waveforms are accurately checked with their implementation in the LIGO Algorithm Library, LAL.

For further documentation refer to the release papers arXiv:2207.02771 and arXiv:2207.06910.

Have a look at gwfast for a Fisher matrix code implementing the WF4Py models.
