Universal Reactivity - Observed Upper Envelope of the Dimensionless k Parameter from Gravitational-Wave Energy Estimates (Dataset and Methods)

Key Points

• The research aims to analyze the upper envelope of the dimensionless parameter k from gravitational-wave energy estimates.
• Analyzed gravitational-wave energy estimates from selected events.
• Computed the dimensionless parameter k using the formula K_adim = E_GW / (M c^2 f ⋅ τ).
• Focused on top events, particularly GW151012 for detailed analysis.
• Identified the top 1% upper envelope for the k parameter as occurring in event GW151012.
• Provided estimates for energy radiated during gravitational-wave events and final mass medians.
