GWTC-3: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the Second Part of the Third Observing Run — O3 search sensitivity estimates

This material is part of several data products associated with GWTC-3, the third Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration. For more information, see the papers (dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P2000318/public and dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P2100239/public), the related material linked from this page, and the GWTC-3 data release documentation (www.gw-openscience.org/GWTC-3/).

Observing Run 3 (O3) Search Sensitivity Estimates

This document contains HDF injection summary files for search sensitivity estimates spanning the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA (LVK) Collaborations' third observing run (O3).

Details of the individual files can be found in

  o3-sensitivity-estimates.md

including descriptions of the injected distributions and the HDF file format adopted.

Separate files are provided for the two parts of the run, O3a and O3b, specified by the GPS start times and durations in the filenames, and for the entire O3 run (filename with no times specified).

Separate files are also provided for subpopulations that span the Binary Neutron Star (bns), Neutron Star–Black Hole (nsbh), Binary Black Hole (bbh), and Intermediate Mass Black Hole (imbh) mass ranges. The subpopulations are combined into a single file (mixture) containing a mixture model that spans the union of all subpopulation.

本材料隶属于与GWTC-3相关的多项数据产品，GWTC-3即LIGO科学合作组织、Virgo合作组织及KAGRA合作组织发布的第三份引力波瞬变源星表（Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog）。如需获取更多信息，请参阅相关论文（dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P2000318/public 与 dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P2100239/public）、本页面关联的相关材料，以及GWTC-3数据发布文档（www.gw-openscience.org/GWTC-3/）。

第三轮观测（O3）搜索灵敏度估算

本文档包含用于LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA（LVK）合作组第三轮观测（O3）的搜索灵敏度估算所需的HDF注入汇总文件。

各文件的详细说明可参阅 o3-sensitivity-estimates.md，其中包含注入信号分布及所采用的HDF文件格式的相关描述。

本数据集为该观测轮次的两个阶段O3a与O3b分别提供了独立文件，文件名中包含GPS起始时间与时长信息；同时也为完整的O3观测轮次提供了独立文件（文件名未指定时间）。

此外，本数据集还为覆盖双中子星（Binary Neutron Star, BNS）、中子星-黑洞（Neutron Star–Black Hole, NSBH）、双黑洞（Binary Black Hole, BBH）以及中等质量黑洞（Intermediate Mass Black Hole, IMBH）质量范围的子样本群配备了独立文件。各子样本群被整合为一个单一文件（混合文件），其中包含覆盖所有子样本群并集的混合模型。
