title: Beyond GWTC-3: Analysing and verifying new gravitational-wave events from the 4-OGC Catalogue

description: These data contain the parameter estimation results described in "Beyond GWTC-3: Analysing and verifying newgravitational-wave events from the 4-OGC Catalogue" in a format which is designed to be comparable to those used in GWTC catalogue parameter estimation data releases.

We have also included the posterior samples for the relevant events from the original [4-OGC](https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.06878) publication, which are made available under the terms of the CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence.

The results are presented in the same PESummary metafile format as the [GWTC-3](https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.5546662) data release, however we do not provide mixed samples, as our analysis only contains results produced with the IMRPhenomXPHM waveform approximant.

The samples from our analysis are labelled as `C01:IMRPhenomXPHM` within the metafile, in keeping with the convention adopted in GWTC-3.The samples from 4-OGC are labelled as `4-ogc`.

 

In addition, we provide the blueprints required to reproduce the various analyses using the asimov software.

These are contained in the YAML format files named OGC######_######.yaml for the various events.

This research has made use of data or software obtained from the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center (gwosc.org), a service of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and KAGRA. This material is based upon work supported by NSF's LIGO Laboratory which is a major facility fully funded by the National Science Foundation, as well as the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) of the United Kingdom, the Max-Planck-Society (MPS), and the State of Niedersachsen/Germany for support of the construction of Advanced LIGO and construction and operation of the GEO600 detector. Additional support for Advanced LIGO was provided by the Australian Research Council. Virgo is funded, through the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO), by the French Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the Italian Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and the Dutch Nikhef, with contributions by institutions from Belgium, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Monaco, Poland, Portugal, Spain. KAGRA is supported by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in Japan; National Research Foundation (NRF) and Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) in Korea; Academia Sinica (AS) and National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) in Taiwan.
