Sample release for GW190814

This notebook serves as a basic introduction to loading and viewing data released in associaton with the publication titled GW190814: Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a 23 Solar Mass Black Hole with a 2.6 Solar Mass Compact Object available through the DCC.

The released data file can be read in using the PESummary or h5py libraries. For this notebook we'll start with simple stuff using h5py. Then we'll use PESummary v0.6.0 to read the data files as well as for plotting. For general instructions on how to manipulate the data file and/or read this data file with h5py, see the PESummary docs

Now use PESummary v0.6.0 to read the data files as well as for plotting.

0.6.0

There are 8 different approximants that were used to analyze GW190814 plus the combined samples of IMRPhenomPv3HM and SEOBNRv4PHM. They are all stored in the data file.

In [7]:
fn = "GW190814_posterior_samples.h5"

To illustrate the data structure we pick the combined posteriors and plot the respective data.
