A powerful veto for gravitational wave searches
The use of vetoes generated from auxiliary channels suppresses most of the high amplitude noise triggers that impair gravitational wave (GW) burst and binary inspiral searches. During Virgo’s first scientific run (VSR1), many of the remaining loud burst and inspiral Virgo triggers were observed with nearly equal significance in both the in-phase (ACp) and quadrature (ACq) interferometer output ...
متن کاملSearching for stochastic gravitational-wave background with the co-located LIGO interferometers
This paper presents techniques developed by the LIGO Scientic Collaboration to search for the stochastic gravitational-wave background using the co-located pair of LIGO interferometers at Hanford, WA. We use correlations between interferometers and environment monitoring instruments, as well as time-shifts between two interferometers (described here for the first time) to identify correlated no...
متن کاملA statistical veto method employing an amplitude consistency check
Statistical veto methods are commonly used to reduce the list of candidate gravitational wave (GW) events which are detected as transient (burst) signals in the main output of GW detectors. If a burst event in the GW channel is coincident with an event in a veto channel (where the veto channel does not contain any GW signal), it is possible to veto the event from the GW channel with a low ‘fals...
متن کاملIdentifying correlated environmental noise in co-located interferometers with application to stochastic gravitational wave analysis
Despite their intrinsic advantages due to co-location, the two LIGO Hanford interferometers have not been used in the search for the stochastic gravitational wave background due to their coupling to a shared environment, which may be comparable to or exceed any gravitational signal. In this paper, using S4 data, we demonstrate a technique to relate the H1–H2 coherence to coupling with physical ...
متن کاملUsed percentage veto for LIGO and virgo binary inspiral searches
A challenge for ground-based gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO and Virgo is to understand the origin of non-astrophysical transients that contribute to the background noise, obscuring real astrophysically produced signals. To help this effort, there are a number of environmental and instrumental sensors around the site, recording data in “channels”. We developed a method called the used...
