Wording suggestions for circular templates (in jinja2 scripts)

In the early-warning section of initial_body.jinja2:

  • Streamline the text by changing with {% if early_warning_pipelines|length > 1 %}detections{% else %} a detection{% endif %} from the to simply: detected by the

In em_bright.jinja2:

  • Change The probability that any one of the binary components lie between to The probability that either of the binary components lies between
  • Change between 3 to 5 solar mass --> between 3 and 5 solar masses
  • A space should be inserted after is astrophysical in origin, before the {% else %}

In retraction.jinja2:

  • I suggest rewriting the core part of the early-warning retraction text to explain more and to explicitly include the words "early-warning", like this: This candidate was initially identified by one or more early-warning analyses by matching partial signal templates to the data. Analysis of additional data up to the putative merger time, with full signal templates, did not make a significant detection, indicating that the initial candidate was likely due to transient noise.

In RAVEN_circular.jinja2, medium_latency_grb_detection_circular.jinja2 and medium_latency_grb_exclusion_circular.jinja2:

  • Change FROM https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn3_archive.html --> FROM https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars

In userguide_conclusion.jinja2:

  • Remove the angle brackets around the userguide URL.

In medium_latency_grb_exclusion_circular.jinja2:

  • Change with the below assumptions --> with the assumptions given below
  • Change E_GW = 10^-2 M_sun --> E_GW = 0.01 M_sun

And finally, in medium_latency_grb_detection_circular.jinja2:

  • Personally, I am wary of promising too much in a circular. For this reason, I suggest removing some or all of this text: Offline analyses are ongoing. Any significant updates will be provided by a new circular.
