This post is the first in a series of in-depth examples for analyzing gravitational wave data in Python, using the PyCBC package. There is also a notebook-version of this post, available here, in a repo of PyCBC...

A friend, who focuses primarily on experimental particle physics, recently asked me an interesting question about gravity. Specifically, he asked how the presence of electromagnetic fields impacts the gravitational field. Applying some modern-physics reasoning, he proposed...
