We here list the sources of the available Power Spectral Densities, PSDs, or Amplitude Spectral Densities, ASDs available in GWFast, in alphabetical order

ce_strain/

Cosmic Explorer ASDs from Science-Driven Tunable Design of Cosmic Explorer Detectors, available at https://dcc.cosmicexplorer.org/cgi-bin/DocDB/ShowDocument?.submit=Identifier&docid=T2000017&version=.

The folder contains ASDs for:

  • the baseline 40km detector (cosmic_explorer)

  • the baseline 20 km detector compact binary tuned (cosmic_explorer_20km)

  • the 20 km detector tuned for post-merger signals (cosmic_explorer_20km_pm)

  • the 40 km detector tuned for low-freqency signals (cosmic_explorer_40km_lf)

ET_designs_comparison_paper/

Einstein Telescope ASDs from Science with the Einstein Telescope: a comparison of different designs, available at https://apps.et-gw.eu/tds/?content=3&r=18213.

The folder contains two subfolders with ASDs for:

  • the high frequency (HF) only ET instrument with a length of 10 km (ETLength10km), 15 km (ETLength15km) and 20 km (ETLength20km), in the HF_only/ folder

  • the full high frequency (HF) and low frequency (LF) ET instrument in the cryogenic design with a length of 10 km (ETLength10km), 15 km (ETLength15km) and 20 km (ETLength20km), in the HFLF_cryo/ folder

ET-0000A-18.txt

Public ET-D sensnitivity curve.

Available at https://apps.et-gw.eu/tds/?content=3&r=14065. Notice that we kept only the first and last column of the file, corresponding to the frequencies and the total ET-D sensitivity, obtained combining the LF and HF instruments.

LVC_O1O2O3/

The folder contains ASDs for the LIGO and Virgo detectors during their O1, O2 and O3 observing runs, extracted in specific moment from actual data.

Available at https://dcc.ligo.org/P1800374/public/ for O1 and O2, https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P2000251/public for O3a, and computed using PyCBC around the times indicated in the caption of Fig. 2 of https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.03606.

observing_scenarios_paper/

ASDs used for the paper Prospects for observing and localizing gravitational-wave transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA, KAGRA Collaboration, LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration.

Available at https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-T2000012/public.

The folder contains ASDs for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA detectors during the O3, O4 and O5 observing runs.

unofficial_curves_all_dets/

Public ASDs for both the current and future generation of detectors (last update in January 2020).

Available at https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-T1500293/public, in the curves_Jan_2020.zip file.

The folder contains ASDs for:

  • Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during both the O1, O2 and O3 runs, at design sensitivity and in the Advanced plus stage;

  • KAGRA;

  • LIGO Voyager;

  • ET-D;

  • CE1 and CE2.
