Identify pipelines to provide pre-merger alerts and specifics of operational params
Identify the pipeline(s) that will provide pre-merger alerts and understand the specifics of their operational parameters:
-
Which instruments each analyzes -- need consistent definition of what constitutes an instrument participating in an alert. -
Mass parameter space covered by each search. -
Relation of the pre-merger pipeline with the existing ones: are they completely independent, or the pre-merger one will develop/run as part of the existing, will there be potentially multiple copies of triggers from these two pipelines reaching gracedb? -
Overall performance of pre-merger pipelines and relationship among them, if multiple ones are commissioned. MDC results from injection campaigns, re-run on all detections so far to indicate which events would have provided such pre alerts. -
Consider lower FAR threshold for early warning alerts. -
How is trial factor (if) changes? -
