FIGARO

FIGARO (Fast Infrared Gravitational-wave Advanced Rapid Observation) is a fast, publicly available tool developed to support the rapid identification of host galaxies for gravitational-wave (GW) events. Designed to run in parallel with GW parameter estimation...

GWOSC / ODW

The Gravitational Wave Open Science Center (GWOSC), formerly known as the LIGO Open Science Center, was created to provide public access to gravitational-wave data products. The collaborations running LIGO, Virgo, GEO600, and KAGRA have all agreed to use GWOSC...

MBTA (Multi-Band Template Analysis)

MBTA is a low-latency gravitational-wave (GW) detection pipeline designed to identify signals from compact binary coalescences (CBCs), such as binary neutron star (BNS), binary black hole (BBH), and neutron star–black hole (NSBH) mergers. It focuses on speed and...

cWB (coherent WaveBurst)

cWB is a data analysis pipeline designed for the detection and reconstruction of unmodeled gravitational-wave (GW) transients, also known as “bursts.” Unlike matched-filter searches that target known waveform templates (e.g., from compact binary...

PyCBC

PyCBC is an open-source software package for gravitational-wave data analysis, widely used in the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA collaborations. Built on the Python programming language, PyCBC provides a comprehensive suite of tools for detecting, analyzing, and interpreting...
