One technique that is straightforward to understand is that folks have done "time-slide" analyses for many years - i.e. offsetting one detector's data in time - to understand what the "baseline" rate of correlations

While there are many compact binary systems in the universe continuously emitting gravitational waves for a very long time, LIGO is only able to detect the most violent waves emitted by the final coalescence and merger. So, on the astrophys

Thanks for the links. I find it unfortunate that often in science (and especially with the LIGO data) much is written about what could possibly be lurking in the data but isn't actually favored over our current understanding. This crea

Just a heads up: the authors of the paper this article is talking about are not part of the LIGO collaboration. They ran their own analysis on the publicly available data.

I'm not so surprised that there are no GR deviations in these early days of detections that are just becoming significant over the instrument noise. GW physicists are hard at work on the future generations of GW detectors... In 50 year
