Global settings

In addition to the settings described in the previous sections, there are a number of global settings that can be used to customise analyses. These are set in the global section of the ini file and apply to all analyses.

Cosmology

The cosmology to use in the analyses can be set using the cosmology argument. If not set, the default cosmology is Planck15 as implemented in astropy.

If using cosmological priors, for example bilby.gw.prior.UniformSourceFrame, then the prior cosmology must match the global cosmology. If they do not match, an error will be raised.

For a list of available cosmologies, bilby.gw.cosmology.get_available_cosmologies().
