Citing GWForge

If GWForge contributes to a publication, please cite the paper that describes it:

Acknowledging the software GWForge builds on

GWForge is a thin layer over the community’s gravitational-wave software. Please also cite the packages that did the work in your analysis:

• bilby – priors, waveform generation, interferometers and PSDs, and the sampler behind the DALI posteriors.

• PyCBC – time-domain injections, PSD estimation and FFTs.

• GWpy – reading and writing the strain files.

• Astropy – cosmology and units.
