Data set from: Rates of Compact Object Coalescences

Data from: Rates of Compact Object Coalescence 

Brief overview: 
This Zenodo entry contains the data that has been used to make the figures for the living review "Rates of Compact Object Coalescence" by Ilya Mandel & Floor Broekgaarden (2021). To reproduce the figures, download all the *.csv files and run the jupyter notebook created to reproduce the results in the publicly available Github directory https://github.com/FloorBroekgaarden/Rates_of_Compact_Object_Coalescence  (the exact jupyter notebook can be found here)

For any suggestions, questions or inquiry, please email one, or both, of the authors: 

• Ilya Mandel: ilya.mandel@monash.edu 
• Floor Broekgaarden: floor.broekgaarden@cfa.harvard.edu

We very much welcome suggestions for additional/missing literature with rate predictions or measurements.

The authors are currently working on making an interactive tool for plotting the rates that will be available soon. In the mean time, feel free to send requests for plots/figures to the authors.

Details datafiles: 

The PDF COC_rates_supplementary_material.pdf attached (and in the Github repository) describes how each of the rates in the data files of this Zenodo entry are retrieved. The other 26 files are .csv files, where each csv file contains the rates from one specific double compact object type: NS-NS, NS-BH or BH-BH, and specific rate group (isolated binary evolution, gravitational wave observations etc.). The files in this entry are:

Each csv file contains the following header: 
ADS year # year of the paper in the ADS entry
ADS month # month of the paper in the ADS entry 
ADS abstract link # link to the ADS abstract 
ArXiv link # link to the ArXiv version of the paper 
First Author # name of the first author
label string # label of the study, that corresponds to the label in the figure
code (optional) # name of the code used in this study 
type of limit (for plotting, see jupyter notebook for a dictionary) # integer, that is used to map to a certain limit visualization in the plot (e.g. scatter points vs upper limit). 

Each entry takes two columns in the csv files. One for the rates (quoted under the header 'rate [Gpc^-3 yr^-1]') and one for "notes" where we sometimes added notes about the rates (such as whether it is an upper or lower limit).
