gw.transforms.detector_transforms.ProjectOntoDetectors(
    ifo_list,
    domain,
    ref_time,
)

Project the GW polarizations onto the detectors in ifo_list. This does not sample any new parameters, but relies on the parameters provided in sample[‘extrinsic_parameters’]. Specifically, this transform applies the following operations:

  1. Rescale polarizations to account for sampled luminosity distance
  2. Project polarizations onto the antenna patterns using the ref_time and the extrinsic parameters (ra, dec, psi)
  3. Time shift the strains in the individual detectors according to the times <ifo.name>_time provided in the extrinsic parameters.
