NOTE: Clicking the 'Get neighbors' checkbox will result in an additional neighbors query for each item in the search results, and the neighbors are thus shown in the results table. However, this causes the overall query to take longer, which is why it is un-checked by default.

By Event Attributes

Relational and range queries can be made on event attributes.
  • instruments = "H1,L1,V1" & far < 1e-7
  • singleinspiral.mchirp >= 0.5 & singleinspiral.eff_distance in 0.0,55
  • (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: 899999000.0 .. 999999999.9

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 (must be UTC). 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, Pipeline, and Search

The group:, pipeline:, and search: keywords are optional. Names are case-insensitive. Note that events in the Test group will not be shown unless explicitly requested.
  • CBC Burst
  • group: Test pipeline: cwb
  • Burst cwb

By Label

You may request only events with a particular label or set of labels. The label: keyword is optional. Label names can be combined with binary AND: '&' or ','; or binary OR: '|'. For N labels, there must be exactly N-1 binary operators. (Parentheses are not allowed.) Additionally, any of the labels in a query string can be negated with '~' or '-'.
  • label: INJ
  • EM_READY & ADVOK
  • H1OK | L1OK & ~INJ & ~DQV
Labels in current use are: INJ, DQV, EM_READY, PE_READY, H1NO, H1OK, H1OPS, L1NO, L1OK, L1OPS, V1NO, V1OK, V1OPS, ADVREQ, ADVOK, ADVNO, EM_COINC, EM_SENT

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" "gracedb.processor"
  • submitter: "joss.whedon@ligo.org" submitter: "gracedb.processor"
