asimov-lalinference

Integration between Asimov and LALInference, the LIGO Algorithm Library’s parameter estimation pipeline.

Features

• Plugin architecture integrating with Asimov via entry points
• Compatible with Asimov 0.7+ blueprint-driven project configuration
• Support for cross-checks against results from newer pipelines

Installation

pip install asimov-lalinference

Purpose

LALInference was the original Bayesian parameter estimation pipeline used across LIGO/Virgo analyses. It has been superseded by newer sampling pipelines such as bilby and RIFT, and this integration is not fully reviewed.

Warning: This plugin must not be used for collaboration parameter estimation analyses. It remains useful for cross-checks and for replicating older analyses.

Status

Development - Not fully reviewed; retained for cross-checks and legacy replication only

Use Cases

• Replicating results from older LALInference-based analyses
• Cross-checking newer-pipeline results against legacy methodology
