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 12 September 2015 to 19 January 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 inst...
