bilby_pipe_gracedb

Command line interface to create ini file for GraceDB event

The bilby_pipe_gracedb command line program provides a method to generate ini files for a GraceDB event. This ini file can then be used as the input for the other bilby_pipe modules.

In addition to reading the data from gracedb, it will attempt to copy the PSD/strain data files to the local machine.

The functionality of much of these utility assumes the user is running on the CIT cluster, e.g. the ROQ and calibration directories are in their usual place.

usage: bilby_pipe_gracedb [options]

Named Arguments

--gracedb

GraceDB event id

--json

Path to json GraceDB file

--psd-file

Path to ligolw-xml file containing the PSDs for the interferometers.

--skymap-file

Path to fits file containing distance PDF. This is used to set prior bound of distance

--disable-skymap-download

If no arguments are passed to –skymap-file, skymap is downloaded from GraceDB to determine the prior maximum of distance. This option can disable it to use the default distance maximum values.

Default: False

--convert-to-flat-in-component-mass

Convert a flat-in chirp mass and mass-ratio prior file to flat in component mass during the post-processing. Note, the prior must be uniform in Mc and q with constraints in m1 and m2 for this to work.

Default: False

--outdir

Output directory where the ini file and all output is written.

--output

Possible choices: ini, full, full-local, full-submit

Flag to create ini, generate directories and/or submit.: ini : generates ini file full : generates ini and dag submission files (default) full-local : generates ini and dag submission files and run locally full-submit : generates ini and dag submission files and submits to condor

Default: 'full'

--gracedb-url

GraceDB service url.: Main page : https://gracedb.ligo.org/api/ (default) Playground : https://gracedb-playground.ligo.org/api/

Default: 'https://gracedb.ligo.org/api/'

--channel-dict

Possible choices: online, o2replay, o3replay, gwosc

Channel dictionary.: online : use for main GraceDB page events from the current observing run (default) o2replay : use for playground GraceDB page events o3replay : use for playground GraceDB page events gwosc : use for events where the strain data is publicly available, e.g., previous observing runs

Default: 'online'

--sampler-kwargs

Dictionary of sampler-kwargs to pass in, e.g., {nlive: 1000} OR pass pre-defined set of sampler-kwargs {DynestyDefault, BilbyMCMCDefault, FastTest}

Default: 'DynestyDefault'

--cbc-likelihood-mode

Built-in CBC likelihood mode or path to a JSON file containing likelihood settings. The built-in settings include ‘phenompv2_bbh_roq’, ‘lowspin_phenomd_narrowmc_roq’, ‘lowspin_phenomd_broadmc_roq’, ‘lowspin_phenomd_fhigh1024_roq’, ‘lowspin_taylorf2_roq’, ‘phenompv2_bns_roq’, ‘phenompv2nrtidalv2_roq’, ‘low_q_phenompv2_roq’, ‘phenomxphm_roq’, and ‘test’.

Default: 'phenompv2_bbh_roq'

--webdir

Directory to store summary pages.: If not given, defaults to outdir/results_page

--settings

JSON file containing extra settings to override the defaults

--psd-cut

maximum frequency is set to this value multiplied by the maximum frequency of psd contained in coinc.xml. This is to avoid likelihood overflow caused by the roll-off of pipeline psd due to low-pass filter.

Default: 0.95

--query-kafka

when fetching the data for analysis, check first it is in kafka, and if not, then try to query ifocache.If False, query ifocache (via gwpy TimeSeries.get() ) by default.

Default: True
