Description
Continuous gravitational wave atlas is a way to distribute data from a wide parameter continuous wave search. We will show the latest atlas produced by Falcon pipeline, with examples of how to use the atlas data in new searches.
The atlas data is provided in a new MVL file format that allows analysis on small computers, such as your notebook. There is also an MVL version of Gaia DR3 data, which can be used to explore the Falcon atlas, or on its own.
The MVL file format has a simple layout, but capable of expressing data structures of arbitrary complexity. The format was designed for memory mapped access so that the data from the same file can be shared between multiple running processes. We will show examples of how you can use MVL files in data analysis.
