We present a computational method to identify glitches in gravitational-wave data that occur nearby gravitational-wave signals from compact binary coalescences. The Q-transform, an established tool in LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data analysis, computes the probability of any excess in the data surrounding a signal against the assumption of a Gaussian noise background, flagging any significant glitches. Subsequently, we perform validation tests on this computational method to ensure self-consistency in colored Gaussian noise, as well as data that contains a gravitational-wave event after subtracting the signal using the best-fit template. Finally, a comparison of our glitch identification results from real events in LIGO-Virgo's third observing run against the list of events which required glitch mitigation shows that this tool will be useful in providing precise information about data quality to improve astrophysical analyses of these events.

  1. Ensemble-Based Residual Tests of GW231123 across Waveform Models

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    GW231123's residuals are consistent with detector noise for all five waveform models, and the strain-level differences between models are too small to be detected.
