Аннотация:The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration havecataloged eleven confidently detected gravitational-wave events during thefirst two observing runs of the advanced detector era. All eleven events wereconsistent with being from well-modeled mergers between compact stellarmass objects: black holes or neutron stars. The data around the time of eachof these events have been made publicly available through the gravitationalwave open science center. The entirety of the gravitational-wave strain datafrom the first and second observing runs have also now been made publiclyavailable. There is considerable interest among the broad scientific communityin understanding the data and methods used in the analyses. In this paper, weprovide an overview of the detector noise properties and the data analysistechniques used to detect gravitational-wave signals and infer the sourceproperties. We describe some of the checks that are performed to validatethe analyses and results from the observations of gravitational-wave events.We also address concerns that have been raised about various properties ofLIGO–Virgo detector noise and the correctness of our analyses as applied tothe resulting data.
