pygwb documentation

pygwb: A python-based, user-friendly library for gravitational-wave background (GWB) searches with ground-based interferometers.

pygwb provides a modular and flexible codebase to analyse laser interferometer data and design a GWB search pipeline. It is tailored to current ground-based interferometers: LIGO Hanford, LIGO Livingston, and Virgo, but can be generalized to other configurations. It is based on the existing packages gwpy and bilby, for optimal integration with widely-used GW data anylsis tools.

pygwb also includes a set of pre-packaged analysis scripts which may be used to analyse data and perform large-scale searches on a high-performance computing cluster efficiently.
