tidalspin uses a Bayesian approach to infer posterior distributions of a black hole's parameters (mass and spin) in an observed tidal disruption event, given a prior estimate of the black hole’s mass (e.g., from a galactic scaling relationship, or the tidal disruption event’s observed properties). These posterior distributions will only utilize the properties of tidal forces in their inference. tidalspin can be applied to the population of tidal disruption events already discovered.
FitTeD solves time-dependent general relativistic disc equations to fit multi-band light curves and spectra. It includes relativistic optics effects such as Doppler and gravitational energy shifting, and gravitational lensing, and can include non-disc light curve and spectral components to, for example, model the early time rise and decay of tidal disruption event light curves in optical-to-UV bands. FitTeD also provides Monte Carlo Markov Chain fitting procedures that return posterior distributions of black hole and disc parameters.
