A note about sensitivity curves

We provide the public links to sensitivity data for the following detector configurations:

• ET: data from here as used in Branchesi et al. 2023:
  • ET_cryo_10km_psd: ET10kmcolumns.txt, third column
  • ET_cryo_15km_psd: ET15kmcolumns.txt, third column
• CE: data as from the Horizon study:
  • 40km: cosmic_explorer_strain.txt
  • 20km: cosmic_explorer_20km_strain.txt
• Aplus: data from here:
  • LIGO: AplusDesign.txt
  • Virgo: avirgo_O5high_NEW.txt
  • KAGRA: kagra_128Mpc.txt
• A# sensitivity: data from Asharp_strain.txt
