get_confusion_noise_huang20

legwork.psd.get_confusion_noise_huang20(f, t_obs=<Quantity 5. yr>)[source]

Calculate the confusion noise using the model from Huang+20 Table II. Note that we set the confusion noise to be exactly 0 outside of the range [1e-4, 1] Hz as the fits are not designed to be used outside of this range.

Also note that this fit is designed based on TianQin sensitivity and so it is likely not sensible to apply it to LISA or other missions.

Parameters
ffloat/array

Frequencies at which to calculate the confusion noise, must have units of frequency

t_obsfloat, optional

Mission length, parameters are defined for 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 5 years, the closest mission length to the one inputted will be used. By default 5 years.

Returns
confusion_noisefloat/array

The confusion noise at each frequency
