updates for O3 replay

Colm Talbot requested to merge online-dev into master

Mostly addresses #237

Major changes:

  • In addition to the json file from GraceDB, we also pull down PSDs from the coinc.xml
  • Use the SNRs for each detector to determine the time reference and reference frame
  • Disable pesummary job
  • Lower the maximum frequency to fit PSD from GraceDB - this may still be problematic
  • Add first pass at setting the chirp mass prior range for lower-mass systems
  • Update default sampler kwargs
  • New --settings argument, this should be a json file containing keys for the configuration file. The intention of this is to easily enable downstream tasks to change the sampler/settings. This will avoid having to do a new release of bilby_pipe in order to tune online settings. Here's an example file to switch to PyMultiNest
{
    "sampler": "pymultinest",
    "sampler_kwargs": {"nlive": 100, "n_clustering_params": 13, "dlogz": 1, "temporary_directory": false}
}

To do:

  • Add the executable from !400 (merged) to the pipeline
  • Decide if we want to use the PSDs from the coinc, figure out stability
