General-relativistic precession in a black-hole binary - data release

This page contains the data release associated with the publication General-relativistic precession in a black-hole binary from Hannam, M. et al. In this publication we show that one of the events in the most recent LIGO-Virgo-Kagra (LVK) data release exhibits general relativistic orbital precession. The event is GW200129_065458. Here, we release the posterior samples (*.h5) that were obtained in this analysis. The files are formatted using PESummary. For information about how to download and read the files, see the public documentation.

Calculations were performed using the supercomputing facilities at Cardiff University operated by Advanced Research Computing at Cardiff (ARCCA) on behalf of the Cardiff Supercomputing Facility and the HPC Wales and Supercomputing Wales (SCW) projects. We acknowledge the support of the latter, which is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) via the Welsh Government. In part the computational resources at Cardiff University were also supported by STFC grant ST/I006285/1. We are also grateful for computational resources provided by LIGO Laboratory and supported by National Science Foundation Grants PHY-0757058 and PHY-0823459.
