This repository contains Mathematica notebooks that give examples of how to use various packages and data in the Toolkit. These should be considered a supplement to the examples included in the documentation for the individiual packages. Example notebooks include:
| Notebook name | Description |
|---|---|
| KerrGeodesics.nb | Demonstrates functions that are part of the KerrGeodesics package. |
| PostNewtonianSelfForce.nb | Examples of how to work with the PostNewtonianSelfForce package |
| Kerr_quasi-circular_flux_inspiral.nb | Use the energy flux data and the KerrGeodesics package to compute a quasi-circular inspiral into a Kerr black hole. |
| High_spin_fluxes.nb | Compute radiated energy flux from a particle in the near-horizon regime of a near-extremal Kerr black hole. This uses the SpinWeightedSpheroidalHarmonics package. |
| Fluxes_PN_vs_numerical.nb | Compare PN and numerical calculations of the radiated flux for circular orbits. The PN coefficients are loaded from the PostNewtonianSelfForce package and the flux data comes from the CircularOrbitSelfForce repository. |
| SWSH_high_frequency.nb | Compute high frequency expansions for the eigenvalue and eigenfunctions of the spin-weighted spheroidal equation using the SpinWeightedSpheroidalHarmonics package. |
| KerrParallelTransportFrame.nb | Demonstrates using the ParallelTransport subpackage of KerrGeodesics. |
| PNSF_Ecc_Fluxes.nb | Demonstrates the analytic post-Newtonian self force expansions of the fluxes at infinity for eccentric orbits on a Schwarzschild background. |
| Scalar_Self_Force.nb | Use the Teukolsky package to compute the regularized scalar self-force. |
