Bursts in VIRGO C5 run analysis Data statistics Burst filters Non-stationarity investigation Hardware injections Interest of VIRGO C5 run Stable recombined (no PR) optical configuration Duration and quality Science mode for long stretches Hardware injections Important transition from simulated Gaussian noise. Focus on ‘Quiet’ data segment (~ 5h). Dark fringe signal (DC, in-phase, quadrature) Statistical studies: tools Spectrogram Rayleigh monitor R ≈ 1 Gaussian R 1 coherent R 1 non-coherent (fast fluctuations) Plot |1-R| Frequency power c2 test On log-spectrogram of whitened data, confidence level of non-stationarity. Event = confidence 99.9% Frequency band spectral flatness Computed after whitening. ξ ~1 for flat spectrum. Plot 1-ξ Statistical studies: overview Statistical studies: frequency view Statistical studies: time view Burst search methods Time domain Mean Filter (MF) Alternative Linear Fit Filter (ALF) Correlators Gaussian (PC) complex Exponential Gaussian (EGC) Sine Gaussian –tiling based- TF domain Power Filter (PF) Fourier Domain Adaptive Wiener Filter (FDAWF) S Transform Burst search methods II Burst search summary Burst search summary II Many non-coincident triggers. Known filter-dependent coupling to waveforms. Time varying outputs. Partial correlation with statistical overview. Focus on different time scales. Complementary approaches. Quality flag relevance? What do we trig on? Veto investigation with MF Veto investigation II Non-stationarity hint … and investigations Hardware injections searches Injections: numerical core collapse, Sine-Gaussian, NS-NS Burst filters: MF and PF. Noise level issue. SNR accuracy? Last word Relatively short stretch Unique observations Prototype study Involve many complementary tools Investigation of deviation from stationarity. Group activity Commissioning “Mini-Runs” LIGO-Virgo joint work Conclusion: burst analysis in VIRGO Large toolbox for Data characterization Burst sea
