Effects of data quality vetoes on a search for compact binary coalescences in Advanced LIGO’s first observing run
Effects of data quality vetoes on a search for compact binary coalescences in Advanced LIGO’s first observing run
The first observing run of Advanced LIGO spanned 4 months, from September 12, 2015 to January 19, 2016, during which gravitational waves were directly detected from two binary black hole systems, namely GW150914 and GW151226. Confident detection of gravitational waves requires an understanding of instrumental transients and artifacts that can …
