Simulation of HLVK Configuration for O5 and O6 Observation Runs: Gravitational Wave Detection Rates, Skymaps, and Multimessenger Parameters (November 2024 edition)

We conducted a simulation of the HLVK configuration for the upcoming O5 and O6 observing runs, estimating the expected gravitational wave (GW) detection rates based on a signal-to-noise (S/N) threshold of 10. This dataset includes skymap files and essential parameters for multimessenger studies. Additionally, a Python script is provided to facilitate the separation of BNS, BBH, and NSBH events based on mass, with a default recommendation of setting neutron star (NS) mass to <3 solar masses and black hole (BH) mass to ≥3 solar masses. Previous simulations for the O4 and O5 runs used an S/N of 8 and can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7026209.
