GWTC-2: Fig. 1

Document #:

LIGO-G2000923-v2

Document type:

G - Presentations (eg Graphics)

Abstract:

Data and script to produce GWTC-2: Fig. 1.
The date of each event is hard-coded into the provided script, while effective binary neutron star volume-time (BNS VT) for each observing run is stored in individual /csv files.

Each .csv file contains two columns of data. The first column is the gps time. The second column is the cumulative effective BNS VT for the relevant observing run.

The included plot_BNS_VT.py script uses the attached data to reproduce Fig. 1 from GWTC-2.
