New O3 Glitch Options

Published by

on

Hi all,

Backed by popular demand, we have added a few new classes of glitches that are prevalent in the O3 data. You will see these options available if you are classifying on the “Binary Black Hole Merger” or “Inflationary Gravitational Waves” workflows.

 

70 Hz Line: 

These are strong, monochromatic lines that started appearing in O3 and sit at around 70 Hz. 

 

Crown: 

These are repeating, arching glitches at frequencies of ~20-50 Hz and appear in groups of ~3-5.

 

High Frequency Burst: 

These are short-duration, blip-like glitches that occur at frequencies greater than ~1000 Hz. 

 

 

Happy classifying!

Mike

    Greetings and Good evening,

    To whine this may concern, my name is Nadeyn and I have completed approximately 12,000 classifications with +98% accuracy on gravitspy. Do y’all have a paid position open? I am a disabled veteran and enjoy this and would like to do it from home for work. Thank you for your time and consideration.
