These pages are meant to complement the data and figures released within the GWTC-1 catalog with additional information produced with cWB. The events’ reconstruction with cWB is reported in the Coherent Event Display Gallery - Networks HL and HLV .

Comparison between un-modeled and modeled waveform reconstructions: cWB vs LALInference

cWB is a wavelet-based burst method while LALInference is a parameter estimation method that uses the best available binary coalescence models. The comparisons shown here are performed between the cWB wavelet-based reconstruction and the LALInference results on the models listed in the GWTC-1 catalog.

GW events

GW events reconstructed with standard settings are shown with a green badge, while those reconstructed with ad-hoc settings (e.g. ad-hoc production thresholds) are shown with an orange badge.
