Finding Strain h and Merger Time

Data Analysis
1

How can I find the strain h or the maximum strain h_max for each event? I need to find them to use them for GWs luminosity calculations.

Another question is how to find the merger time? If I understood correctly, merger time is duration between the end of the inspiral phase and the start of the ringdown phase.

If anyone could guide me to a tutorial or explain how to find them, I would really appreciate it.

Hi Noor,

This may not answer your question directly, but have you tried looking in the tutorials on gwosc?

There is also past Open Data Workshops available on Thinkific that you can try.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I checked the Open Data Workshop for this year, but I could not figure it out. I will try looking into the past Open Data Workshops.
