By Event Attributes

Relational and range queries can be made on event attributes.
  • instruments = "H1,L1,V1" & far < 1e-7
  • singleinspiral.mchirp >= 1.6 & eff_distance in 40.5,55
  • (si.channel = "DMT-STRAIN" | si.channel = "DMT-PAIN") & si.snr < 5
  • mb.snr in 1,3 & mb.central_freq > 1000
Attributes in the common event object (eg gpstime, far, instruments) do not need qualifiers. Attributes specific to inspiral or burst events, for example, require qualification. Abbreviations are available: si for singleinspiral, ci for coincinspiral and mb for multiburst.

By GPS Time

Specifiy an exact GPS time, or a range. Integers will be assumed to be GPS times, making the gpstime: keyword optional.
  • 899999000..999999999
  • gpstime: 999999999
  • gpstime: 899999000..999999999

By Creation Time

Creation time may be indicated by an exact time or a range. Date/times are in the format 2009-10-20 13:00:00. If the time is omitted, it is assumed to be 00:00:00. Dates may also consist of certain variants of English-like phrases. The created: keyword is (generally) optional.
  • created: 2009-10-08 .. 2009-12-04 16:00:00
  • yesterday..now
  • created: 1 week ago .. now

By Graceid

GraceIds can be specified either individually, or as a range. The gid: keyword is optional.
  • gid: G2011
  • G2011..G3000
  • G2011 G2032 G2033

By Group and Analysis Type

The group: and type: keywords are optional. Group and analysis type names are case-insensitive. Note that events in the Test group will not be shown unless explicitly requested.
  • CBC Burst
  • Inspiral CWB
  • group: Test type: cwb
  • Burst Omega

By Label

You may request only events that have a certain label. The label: keyword is optional. Note that specifying multiple labels is an "OR" operation. More complex expressiveness is on the 'todo' list.
  • label: INJ
  • DQV LUMIN_GO
Valid labels are: cWB_s, cWB_r, EM_READY, SWIFT_NO, SWIFT_GO, LUMIN_NO, LUMIN_GO, DQV, INJ

By Submitter

To specify events from a given submitter, indicate the name of the submitter in double quotes. The submitter: is optional. While LIGO user names are predictable, most events are submitted through robot accounts and are not as predictable. This is probably a defect that ought to be remedied.
  • "waveburst"
  • "gstlalcbc" "gdb-processor"
  • submitter: "joss.whedon@ligo.org" submitter: "gdb_processor"
