LISA Neutron Star Binary Data: Posterior Samples for Eccentricity Measurements

Posterior samples and code reproduce figures for the paper 'Discovering neutron stars with LISA via measurements of orbital eccentricity in Galactic binaries'. The data includes analyses of eccentric quasi-monochromatic binaries, gridding over gravitational-wave frequency, eccentricity, and SNR. C. J. Moore from the University of Cambridge authored this release, which contains .dat files for source SNR, log evidence, and posteriors, along with configuration .yaml files for the BALROG code.

Use Cases

• Validate the fitting formula for minimum recoverable eccentricity based on the provided posterior samples.
• Reproduce analysis figures investigating parameter effects on eccentricity recovery using the fiducial_source_checks data.
• Benchmark gravitational-wave parameter estimation pipelines using the provided campaign analyses and configuration files.

Strengths

• Includes posterior samples and code to reproduce all figures from the associated peer-reviewed paper.
• Contains specific analysis folders (campaigns, fiducial_source_checks, nhat_runs) with documented purposes for different figures.
• Provides configuration .yaml files detailing LISA mission parameters, sampler settings, and prior limits.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
