Changelog

Some major changes from the recent past are listed below:
  1. 2026-03-12: Switched from GCN Classic VOEvent Broker to Kafka for triggering the pipeline.
  2. 2025-08-27: Improved TimeSelection algorithm which results in overall better automatic background fits
  3. 2024-05-12: Skipped processing of triggers calssified as "Solar Flare" by the onboard software due to high solar activity and the pipelines limited capacities.
  4. 2023-11-09: Noticed a bug in the 1-/2-σ computation resulting in too small errors. Fixed the same day
  5. 2023-07: Changed signal and background selection algorithm (TimeSelection) to a Bayesian Blocks (Jeffrey D. Scargle 1998, ApJ 504, 405) based method.
Feel also free to check out the code to both, BALROG as well as Morgoth. Latter is the pipeline running the BALROG scheme, which handles the automatic processing of GBM triggers.
You can find the latest running version of Morgoth in this Pull Request on the main repository.
