Gravitational Waves Flux

Open Data Workshop

Hello there,
I want to ask about the flux of gravitational waves. How is it calculated and how can I obtain it using the tutorials of the Open Data Workshop?

@Noor Thank you for the question! You can learn how to calculate GW luminosity in Equation 20 of the paper “The Basic Physics of GW150914” (arXiv)

You can convert the luminosity to a flux by dividing by 4 X pi X d^2

Good luck!
