Investigating the relation between gravitational wave tests of general relativity

This data release accompanies the paper Johnson-McDaniel et al., Investigating the relation between gravitational wave tests of general relativity, arXiv:2109.06988.

It provides the frame files containing the simulated observations of GR and non-GR signals (with no noise) analyzed in that paper. Specifically, these are simulated observations of binary black hole coalescences like GW150914 and GW170608.

Each directory inside one of the tarballs corresponds to a given simulated observation and contains three frame files, one for each observatory (LIGO Hanford, LIGO Livingston, and Virgo). The GR cases contain simulated observations generated using the IHES EOB and IMRPhenomD models, while the non-GR cases contain the modified EOB, TIGER, FTA, and modified dispersion relation (MDR) simulated observations, as described in the paper. Specifically, the TIGER and FTA cases modify the 2PN coefficient, while the MDR cases are for a massive graviton. For the GW150914-like simulated observations, there are two selections (one large, one smaller) of the non-GR parameter for each non-GR case.

The frame files in the GW150914-like (GW170808-like) cases contain 8 (16) seconds of data, starting from a GPS time of 1126259456 (1180922480). In both cases, the peak of the waveform (the "trigger time") is placed 2 seconds from the end of the data segment, so at GPS times of 1126259462 and 1180922494 for the GW150914-like and GW170608-like cases, respectively.

Any publication that uses these data should cite the aforementioned paper that describes them (arXiv:2109.06988), as well as this Zenodo release, doi:10.5281/zenodo.5637361.
