Alongside the timeseries data produced continuously at the laboratories, a number of different sets of tabular data are generated, typically recording significant noise transients (glitches) or gravitational-wave events found in the data.
Table and EventTable¶GWpy provides two classes for handling tabular data.
gwpy.table.Table |
A class to represent tables of heterogeneous data. |
gwpy.table.EventTable |
A container for a table of events |
Note
The Table is just an import of the
astropy.table.Table, provided for
import convenience, see the Astropy documentation for full details on
that (excellent) object).
The EventTable extends the functionality of the regular
Table with multi-file input routines, and utilities for
processing and plotting tables of events that contain GPS timestamps.
See the Data Tables (astropy.table) documentation for examples of how to create custom tables, and much more.
The only thing to change if you want to use the EventTable instead of the basic Table is the import:
>>> from gwpy.table import EventTable
