Data release (posterior samples, configuration files, run scripts, and frame data) for "Mitigating Systematic Errors in Parameter Estimation of Binary Black Hole Mergers in O1–O3 LIGO–Virgo Data"

Dataset Description This dataset provides the complete set of data products used in the parameter estimation analyses presented in: "Mitigating Systematic Errors in Parameter Estimation of Binary Black Hole Mergers in O1-O3 LIGO-Virgo Data" It includes all materials required to reproduce the analyses, from configuration and execution scripts to posterior samples and detector strain data (for simulations). Contents The dataset includes: Configuration files for all analyses. Run scripts used to execute parameter estimation. Posterior samples for all runs (O1-O3 events and simulations). Simulated detector strain data in frame format (.gwf) Events Included The dataset covers the following binary black hole merger events: GW150914_095045 GW190412_053044 GW190521_030229 GW191109_010717 GW200129_065458 GW200208_222617 These events span the O1–O3 observing runs of the LIGO–Virgo Collaboration. Data Organization The dataset is structured into two top-level directories: o1o2o3_events/ Contains all the data products used in the analyses for real gravitational-wave events listed above. run_scripts/ Run scripts and configuration files organized by event. Each event directory contains subdirectories following the naming convention:{WAVEFORM_MODEL}_marginalized_polarizationThe {WAVEFORM_MODEL} can be IMRPhenomXPHM, IMRPhenomXO4a, or NRSur7dq4. Each subdirectory then contain the run script with following naming convention:run_{EVENTNAME}_{WAVEFORM_MODEL}_marginalized_polarization_{SAMPLER_SETTING}_nlive{NLIVE}_calibration-standard_{RUN_TYPE}.sh The {SAMPLER_SETTING} can take values dynesty_rwalk_v2, dynesty_rwalk_v3, or dynesty_rslice based on which sampler settings are used. The corresponding configuration files are provided.{NLIVE} represent number of live points used in that particular run.{RUN_TYPE} can take values baseline, cubicspline_absolute_wferrors, or cubicspline_relative_wferrors.Runs that make use of deglitched frame files, have -deglitched as suffix in the filename. Apart from the run script, each subdirectory contain the configuration file in a sub-folder named config_files. GW191109_010717 have single detector run scripts as well. These scripts can be found in the subfolder single_detector_runs in the event directory. posterior_files/Posterior samples corresponding to each analysis configuration, organized by event and waveform model. The names of the posterior files are self-explanatory. A typical filename follows the following naming convention:posterior_samples_combined_{EVENTNAME}_{WAVEFORM_MODEL}_{RUN_TYPE}_deglitched_frame_files.hdfor posterior_samples_combined_{EVENTNAME}_{WAVEFORM_MODEL}_{RUN_TYPE}_raw_frame_files.hdfdepending on which .gwf frame files are used: raw or deglitched (See the paper for details).The posterior samples are combined samples from multiple realization (2-3) for each run. The sampler settings are chosen in such a way that PE runs for multiple realizations are consistent. simulations/ This directory contains the data products for GW191109-type signal injected in a detector network consisting of LIGO-Hanford and LIGO-Livingston detectors (H1 and L1 for short). In another scenario, we inject a scatter light glitch close to the signal in LIGO-Livingston detector. The run scripts, configuration files, and frame files along with posterior samples are provided in this folder.
