Data release for Gravitational wave constraints on planetary-mass primordial black holes using LIGO O3a data

This is a .zip file containing two folders:

(1) candidates -- this folder contains significant frequency/chirp mass systems from each detector H, L at different times that were followed up and ruled out as possible sources of GWs

these files contain:

the frequency f0 (first column), the errors on it (the second and third)

the maximum frequency that the signal would have obtained (column 4) with the duration given in column 9

the chirp mass (column 5), the errors on it (sixth and seventh)

the time at which the frequency of the signal was f0 (column 8)

the critical ratio (detection statistic) column 10

With these parameters, one can try to identify the signal in a data using, for example, the matched filter, if one wishes.

(2) upper limits: this folder contains two files

Both are upper limits on the model-independent parameter f tilde in the equal-mass case and the asymmetric mass ratio case (where here, m1=2.5 Msun)

the equal-mass file has 5 columns:

1. chirp mass Mc

2. 95% confidence level luminosity distance reached upper limit (kpc)

3. 95% confidence level rate density upper limit (kpc^{-3} yr^{-1})

4. model-independent parameter f tilde, defined in Eq. 9

5. standard devitation of distance estimate

the asymmetric mass ratio file has 6 columns, most of which have the same meaning, except that

the first column is the secondary mass of the binary (m2<<m1=2.5Msun), not Mc

the fifth column is the constraint on f(m_2) assuming fsup = 1, fpbh = 0.1, and f(m_1) =1 

the sixth column is the standard deviation of the distance estimate.

(3) search configs: this folder contains one file with the information about the 129 search configurations. It has labeled columns which are:

starting freq (Hz),ending freq (Hz),T_PM (s),T_FFT (s),min chirp mass (Msun),max chirp mass (Msun)
