Description

The function XLALInspiralVelocity() calculates the velocity \(v\) corresponding to a time \(t\) in the evolution of an inspiralling binary system. It does this by iteratively solving

\begin{equation} \label{tofv} t(v) = t_{0} - m \int_{v_{0}}^{v} \frac{E'(v)}{{\cal F}(v)} \, dv \,\,. \end{equation}

LALInspiralVelocity() calculates \(v\), given \(t(v)\), \(t_{0}\), \(m\), \(v_{0}\), \(E^{\prime}(v)\) and \(\mathcal{F}(v)\).
