And for those who have not seen, you can play with the date in your browser: http://mybinder.org/repo/minrk/ligo-binder/GW150914_tutorial.ipynb It spawn a Docker instance with the analysis just for you after a few second (and yes http, there is no login involved), so that you can play with the data.
