Case 03861

Skill knownasnaffy/prompthound/dataset/case_03861

Fetch real LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA gravitational wave events from the GWOSC (Gravitational Wave Open Science Center) catalog, download detector strain data, run signal processing (whitening, Q-transform, matched filter), classify merger types (BBH/BNS/NSBH), and produce publication-quality plots. Use when asked to: analyze gravitational waves, fetch LIGO data, detect black hole mergers, explore GW events, run strain analysis on GW231123 or GW150914 or any GWTC event, visualize gravitational wave signals.From its SKILL.md

Gravitational Wave Event Analyzer

A skill for fetching and analyzing real gravitational wave events from LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA using public GWOSC data.

What This Skill Does

Catalog Query — Fetch events from GWTC (Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog) via GWOSC API
Strain Download — Pull real detector strain timeseries data for any event
Signal Processing — Whiten, bandpass filter, and Q-transform the strain
Merger Classification — Classify event type: BBH (binary black hole), BNS (binary neutron star), or NSBH
Visualization — Generate spectrograms, waveform plots, and summary figures

Usage

Analyze a specific event

from gw_analyzer import GWEventAnalyzer

analyzer = GWEventAnalyzer()
result = analyzer.analyze_event("GW150914")
result.plot()
result.summary()

List recent events

events = analyzer.list_events(catalog="GWTC-3", min_far=1e-3)

Full pipeline

python gw_analyzer.py --event GW150914 --detector H1 --output ./output/
python gw_analyzer.py --event GW231123_135430 --detector L1 --output ./output/
python gw_analyzer.py --list-events --catalog GWTC-3 --top 10

Key Events to Try

Event	Type	Description
GW150914	BBH	First detection ever (2015)
GW170817	BNS	First neutron star merger (multi-messenger)
GW200105	NSBH	First neutron star–black hole merger
GW231123_135430	BBH	Most massive merger ever detected

Output

{event}_waveform.png — Raw + whitened + filtered strain timeseries
{event}_qtransform.png — Time-frequency Q-transform (chirp signature)
{event}_summary.json — Event parameters, classification, SNR estimate
{event}_report.txt — Human-readable analysis report
