Posterior samples for "Searching for a Ringdown Overtone in GW150914"

Posterior files associated with Searching for a Ringdown Overtone in GW150914 (arXiv:2205.07809, Phys. Rev. D 106, 043005).

We provide samples for both the GW150914 analysis (posterior_samples/GW150914) and the injection campaign (posterior_samples/injection_campaign). For the GW150914 analysis, where multiple models were used, the folder naming follows the convention:

{number of wavelets included in the model}W{QNM content described by lmn indices}

with the kerr-deviation analysis having the additional label _with_deviation.

Only the 3W220221 model was used in the injection campaign. There, subfolders are named according to the injection time in seconds (where m indicates a minus value, relative to t_ref as detailed in the paper). The exception is the noiseless injection, which is in the noiseless folder.

Each directory contains a posterior_samples.dat file and a sampler_output.json file which contains the log-evidence (natural log) and the estimated error on the log-evidence.

Notebooks to reproduce the figures in the paper are available in the plots folder.
