<br/>
_**surfinBH**_ provides _**sur**rogate **fin**al **B**lack_ _**H**ole_
properties for mergers of binary black holes (BBH).
These fits are described in the following papers: <br/>

[arxiv:1809.09125](https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.09125).

Stein, L. E. Kidder, H. P. Pfeiffer,
[arxiv:1905.09300](https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.09300).
If you find this package useful in your work, please cite reference [1] and,
if available, the relevant paper describing the particular model. Please also
cite this package, see the DOI badge at the top of this page for BibTeX keys.
This package is compatible with both python2 and python3. This package lives
on [GitHub](https://github.com/vijayvarma392/surfinBH) and is tested every
week. You can see the current build status of the master branch at the top of
this page.
## Installation
### PyPI

## Dependencies
All of these can be installed through pip or conda.
* [numpy](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/install.html)
* [scipy](https://www.scipy.org/install.html)
* [h5py](http://docs.h5py.org/en/latest/build.html)
* [scikit-learn](http://scikit-learn.org/stable/install.html) (at least 0.19.1)
* [lalsuite](https://pypi.org/project/lalsuite) (at least 6.70)
* [gwsurrogate](https://pypi.org/project/gwsurrogate)
* [NRSur7dq2](https://pypi.org/project/NRSur7dq2) (only for surfinBH7dq2)
## Usage
```python
import surfinBH
```
### See list of available fits
```python
print(surfinBH.fits_collection.keys())
>>> ['NRSur3dq8Remnant', 'NRSur7dq4Remnant', 'surfinBH7dq2']
```
Pick your favorite fit and get some basic information about it.
```python
fit_name = 'NRSur7dq4Remnant'
surfinBH.fits_collection[fit_name].desc
>>> 'Fits for remnant mass, spin and kick veclocity for generically precessing BBH systems up to mass ratio 4.'
surfinBH.fits_collection[fit_name].refs
>>> 'arxiv:1905.09300'
```
### Load the fit
This only needs to be done **once** at the start of your script.
If the fit data is not already downloaded, this will also download the data.
```python
fit = surfinBH.LoadFits(fit_name)
>>> Loaded NRSur7dq4Remnant fit.
```
### Evaluation
The evaluation of each fit is different, so be sure to read the documentation.
This also describes the frames in which different quantities are defined.
```python
help(fit)
```
We also provide ipython examples for usage of different fits:
##### Current fits
* [NRSur7dq4Remnant](https://github.com/vijayvarma392/surfinBH/blob/master/examples/example_7dq4.ipynb) (Ref. [2])
* [NRSur3dq8Remnant](https://github.com/vijayvarma392/surfinBH/blob/master/examples/example_3dq8.ipynb) (called surfinBH3dq8 in Ref. [1])
##### Older fits
* [surfinBH7dq2](https://github.com/vijayvarma392/surfinBH/blob/master/examples/example_7dq2.ipynb) (Ref. [1]. Superseded by NRSur7dq4Remnant)
## Animations
We also provide a tool to visualize the binary black hole scattering process,
see
[binary black hole explorer](https://vijayvarma392.github.io/binaryBHexp/).
