Rapid data quality investigations of gravitational-wave events with the Data Quality Report Builder toolkit

Derek Davis, Zach Yarbrough, Joseph Areeda +30

We present the Data Quality Report Builder toolkit, DQRbuild, a suite of data quality tools that have been developed to vet gravitational-wave events in preparation for the fourth…

Coalescing Compact Binary Parameter Estimation with Gravitational Waves in the Presence of non-Gaussian Transient Noise

Yannick Lecoeuche, Jess McIver, Alan M. Knee +7

Data from gravitational-wave (GW) detectors often contains a high rate of non-Gaussian transient noise, known as glitches. The parameters estimated from GW signals coinciding with…

GSpyNetTreeS: a machine learning solution for glitch localization in time and frequency

Man Leong Chan, Jess McIver, Yannick Lecoeuche +6

Data from ground-based gravitational wave detectors are often contaminated by non-Gaussian instrumental artifacts or detector noise transients. Unbiased source property estimation…

Inferring the spins of merging black holes in the presence of data-quality issues

Rhiannon Udall, Sophie Bini, Katerina Chatziioannou +5

Gravitational waves from black hole binary mergers carry information about the component spins, but inference is sensitive to analysis assumptions, which may be broken by terrestri…

LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run

S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232

Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…
