Abstract

We present the first release of the Gravitational Wave AfterglowPy Analysis (GWAPA) webtool (Available at https://gwapa.web.roma2.infn.it/). GWAPA is designed to provide the community with an interactive tool for rapid analysis of gravitational wave afterglow counterparts and can be extended to the general case of gamma-ray burst afterglows seen at different angles. It is based on the afterglowpy package and allows users to upload observational data and vary afterglow parameters to infer the properties of the explosion. Multiple jet structures, including top hat, Gaussian and power laws, in addition to a spherical outflow model are implemented. A Python script for MCMC fitting is also available to download, with initial guesses taken from GWAPA
