I (Tom Callister) give a lot of talks about gravitational-wave astronomy. In the course of giving a lot of talks, I end up designing a lot of figures, animations, and demonstrations that (I hope) effectively illustrate gravitational-wave data, principles of data analysis, and/or the relevant astrophysical principles. My goal is to share some of these here (both figures/animations themselves and the code with which they're produced) so that others can make use of them as well.

- cbc-landscape Public
Diagrams illustrating the currently-observed catalog of binary mergers, with and without uncertainties.
gw-gallery/cbc-landscape’s past year of commit activity - changing-waveform Public
Animations illustrated effect of different binary masses and distances on observed GW signal
gw-gallery/changing-waveform’s past year of commit activity - q-vs-chi-effective-pollock-plot Public
Measured black hole mass ratios and spins, with and without uncertainties. Despite their severe uncertainties, these quantities are known to be anticorrelated, illustrating a surprising conclusion from hierarchical GW analysis.
gw-gallery/q-vs-chi-effective-pollock-plot’s past year of commit activity - hierarchical-inference-demo Public
Animations illustrating the problem of hierarchical inference, and right and wrong approaches to reconstructing a population.
gw-gallery/hierarchical-inference-demo’s past year of commit activity - mass-vs-redshift-pollock-plot Public
Plots illustrating measured black hole masses and redshifts, and emphasizing why uncertainties and selection effects make population studies hard!
gw-gallery/mass-vs-redshift-pollock-plot’s past year of commit activity - .github Public
