Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Title Development of CBCFlow 
Description CBCFlow allows convenient and machine readable storage, communication, and retrieval of important metadata for analyses of gravitational-wave events. It is actively developed by the LIGO Scientific, Virgo, and KAGRA collaborations and used in the delivery of the next Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalogue. 
Type Of Material Improvements to research infrastructure 
Year Produced 2023 
Provided To Others? No  
Impact Improved usage and storage of GW analysis results. Reduction in re-analysis ultimately leading to reduced computational costs.
