• Methods:

  The code is mainly based on the formalism described in Carullo et al., arXiv:1902.07527. For signals extending below a pure ringdown emission, it uses the truncated formulation of Isi et al., arXiv:1905.00869 (see also their longer follow-up, arXiv:2107.05609). Additional details on the methodology can be found in the GWTC-2 Testing GR LVK catalog, arXiv:2010.14529 and GWTC-3 Testing GR LVK catalog, arXiv:2112.06861.
