Other cWB flavors

pycWB and cWB-XP

cWB exists in several flavors. PycWB is a new modular framework written in Python that retains the original cWB algorithm while improving flexibility, usability, and extensibility. It provides a Python-based interface, an improved injection infrastructure, and a streamlined post-production workflow; the pipeline is organized into modular stages, so users can modify existing components or add new ones without affecting the rest of the workflow. PycWB is open-source.

GW190521

The first detection of an intermediate-mass black-hole

On May 21, 2019 the LIGO/Virgo interferometers detected GW190521, the most massive gravitational wave binary observed to date. The two component black holes had masses of about 85 and 66 solar masses, and resulted in the formation of a black hole remnant of 142 solar masses. This remnant provides the first clear detection of an intermediate-mass black-hole.

GW150914

The first detection

GW150914 is the first gravitational wave signal ever detected and the first discovery of a binary of black holes, marking the beginning of Gravitational astronomy. This discovery was made by the “online” low-latency version of coherent WaveBurst: the original screenshot of GW150914 event can be found here.

GW170818

GWTC-1 Catalog (GWOSC) - Coherent Event Display (HL)

This GW event was reconstructed by lowering the subnet threshold (from 0.5 to 0.0, i.e. allowing the reconstruction of GW events for which the Signal-to-Noise Ratio on one detector is much higher than on the others).
Note: In order to generate a skymap over the full sky area, this CED has been produced by setting the netCC=0.

GW170818

GWTC-1 Catalog (GWOSC) - Coherent Event Display (HLV)

This GW event was reconstructed by lowering both the subnet threshold (from 0.5 to 0.0, i.e. allowing the reconstruction of GW events for which the Signal-to-Noise Ratio on one detector is much higher than on the others) and the netRHO (from 5.5 to 4.5, i.e. allowing the reconstruction of weaker GW events).
Note: In order to generate a skymap over the full sky area, this CED has been produced by setting the netCC=0.
