archeo: Bayesian framework for black-hole archaeology

Project link: PyPI

Paper link: arXiv:2404.00720

Archeo is a package for inferring the natal kick and parental masses posterior of black holes. It help study the parental black holes of GW190521 and investigate the probability that the component black holes in GW190521 are a result of black hole merger. The detailed methodology is described in arxiv:2404.00720, and it can be applied to any other gravitational wave event.
