# GWTC-3: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the Second Part of the Third Observing Run — O3 search sensitivity estimates

LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration and KAGRA Collaboration

This material is part of several data products associated with GWTC-3, the third Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration. For more information, see the papers (dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P2000318/public and dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-P2100239/public), the related material linked from this page, and the GWTC-3 data release documentation (www.gw-openscience.org/GWTC-3/).

Observing Run 3 (O3) Search Sensitivity Estimates

This document contains HDF injection summary files for search sensitivity estimates spanning the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA (LVK) Collaborations' third observing run (O3).

Details of the individual files can be found in

•   o3-sensitivity-estimates.md

including descriptions of the injected distributions and the HDF file format adopted.

Separate files are provided for the two parts of the run, O3a and O3b, specified by the GPS start times and durations in the filenames, and for the entire O3 run (filename with no times specified).

Separate files are also provided for subpopulations that span the Binary Neutron Star (bns), Neutron Star–Black Hole (nsbh), Binary Black Hole (bbh), and Intermediate Mass Black Hole (imbh) mass ranges. The subpopulations are combined into a single file (mixture) containing a mixture model that spans the union of all subpopulation.

LIGO Laboratory and Advanced LIGO are funded by the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) as well as the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) of the United Kingdom, the Max-Planck-Society (MPS), and the State of Niedersachsen/Germany for support of the construction of Advanced LIGO and construction and operation of the GEO600 detector. Additional support for Advanced LIGO was provided by the Australian Research Council. Virgo is funded, through the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO), by the French Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the Italian Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and the Dutch Nikhef, with contributions by institutions from Belgium, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Monaco, Poland, Portugal, Spain. The construction and operation of KAGRA are funded by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), National Research Foundation (NRF) and Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) in Korea, Academia Sinica (AS) and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) in Taiwan.
