Data Quality Vetoes Applied to the Analysis of LIGO Data from the Third Observing Run

Document #:

LIGO-T2100045-v1

Document type:

T - Technical notes

Abstract:

This document describes all the data quality (DQ) vetoes which were applied to the analysis of LIGO data from the third observing run. For each DQ flag the definition of the veto is given, the interferometer this veto is applicable to, the category the veto was applied to the Burst and Compact Binary Coalescence (CBC) searches and the total amount of deadtime associated to each DQ veto. This document has been created as a supplement to the release of LIGO strain data from the third observing run.
