asimov-gracedb

Integration between Asimov and GraceDB, the gravitational-wave candidate event database.

Features

• Event and superevent lookup directly from Asimov via asimov apply -p gracedb
• Optional dependency - moved out of Asimov core so ligo-gracedb isn’t a hard dependency of the base package
• Hook-based architecture implementing Asimov’s applicator and filesource plugin interfaces

Installation

pip install asimov-gracedb

Purpose

GraceDB is the database LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA use to track candidate gravitational-wave events and superevents. This plugin lets Asimov create and populate projects directly from GraceDB records without requiring every Asimov installation to depend on the GraceDB client.

Status

Development - Early-stage plugin, no tagged releases yet

Use Cases

• Creating Asimov projects from a GraceDB superevent or event ID
• Keeping event metadata in sync with GraceDB without a core dependency
