Abstract

Data set The contents of SNRmin2z1LISASNR.tar.gz consist of approximately 10k folders, each corresponding to each of the samples of the public GWTC-3 fiducial sBHB population model posterior, and containing the following files: population.yaml: population parameters of this sample. background.txt: frequencies and characteristic strain squared of the sBHB confusion noise in the LISA band for this population. populationdetectorframeSNR.h5: subset of loud sBHB sources, including but not limited to those with LISA SNR larger than 4 (missing in some samples). For a description of the population parameters in population.yaml and the individual source parameters in populationdetectorframeSNR.h5, see the contents of the Demo.ipynb notebook. To be able to run the notebooks described below, uncompress the SNRmin2z1LISASNR.tar.gz file inside a data/ subfolder under that of the notebook. Demo notebook For examples of how to load and process the catalogues, see the Demo.ipynb notebook. This notebook requires the following Python packages: numpy, scipy, pandas, matplotlib, pyyaml, tqdm Some of the plots in the notebook require the extrapops simulation package: git clone [email protected]:JesusTorrado/extrapops.git cd extrapops pip install . References For detailed descriptions of the generation of the data set, see the references mentioned in the Zenodo page.
