Additional ToolsΒΆ
The ligo.skymap package includes a number of advanced tools for working with GW probability sky maps.
Publication-quality astronomical mapmaking built on Astropy (
ligo.skymap.plot.allsky
)Functions for manipulating distance posteriors (
ligo.skymap.distance
)Probabilistic airmass plots (ligo-skymap-plot-airmass)
The rapid localization code BAYESTAR, which is used to produce the initial sky maps for CBC events but can also be used to created simulated localizations.
The postprocessing tool that creates updated sky maps from MCMC samples (ligo-skymap-from-samples)
