Quantifying the Impact of Data Quality on Searches for Gravitational Waves From Binary Coalescing Systems with LIGO
Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time itself, predicted by Einstein's General theory of relativity, which propagate at the speed of light and are not scattered or extinguished by passing through matter almost at all. In particular, the gravitational waves from the coalescences of binary...
