Remnant black hole properties from gravitational waveforms

gw_remnant is a Python package for extracting remnant mass, spin, peak luminosity, and kick velocity of the remnant black hole directly from gravitational radiation emitted during binary black hole mergers.

Energy and momenta carried away as gravitational waves determine the final state of the remnant. This package computes the full time evolution of these quantities and reports the final remnant properties.
