Cosmic Explorer MPSAC Dataset

This dataset contains the compact binary populations that were used in the Cosmic Explorer MPSAC White paper1 (submitted to the NSF MPSAC ngGW Subcommittee) and the accompanying technical paper2. 

Contents:

1. 1-year populations for binary black hole (BBH), binary neutron star (BNS), neutron star-black hole (NSBH), intermediate mass binary black hole (IMBBH),  Population III (Pop 3) binary black holes and primordial black hole (PBH) mergers. It also contains the SNRs and measurement errors on intrinsic and extrinsic parameters calculated using gwbench3.

2. 1/4-year sub-population of BNS mergers for which errors on tidal parameters were calculated.

3. An ipython notebook (instructions.ipynb) that shows how the data can be used.
