Module contents

This package provides information about LIGO/Virgo detections of compact binary mergers

class pycbc.catalog.Catalog(source='gwtc-1')

Bases: object

Manage a set of binary mergers

median1d(param, return_errors=False)

Return median 1d marginalized parameters

Parameters:

• name (str) – The name of the parameter requested
• return_errors (Optional, {bool, False}) – If true, return a second and third parameter that represents the lower and upper 90% error on the parameter.

Returns:

param – The requested parameter

Return type:

nump.ndarray or tuple

class pycbc.catalog.Merger(name, source='gwtc-1')

Bases: object

Informaton about a specific compact binary merger

median1d(name, return_errors=False)

Return median 1d marginalized parameters

Parameters:

• name (str) – The name of the parameter requested
• return_errors (Optional, {bool, False}) – If true, return a second and third parameter that represents the lower and upper 90% error on the parameter.

Returns:

param – The requested parameter

Return type:

float or tuple

strain(ifo, duration=32, sample_rate=4096)

Return strain around the event

Currently this will return the strain around the event in the smallest format available. Selection of other data is not yet available.

Parameters:ifo (str) – The name of the observatory you want strain for. Ex. H1, L1, V1 Returns:strain – Strain around the event. Return type:pycbc.types.TimeSeries
