Accurate extractions of the detected gravitational wave (GW) signal waveforms are essential to validate a detection and to probe the astrophysics behind the sources producing the GWs. This however could be difficult in realistic scenarios where the signals detected by existing GW detectors could be contaminated with non-stationary and non-Gaussian noise. While the performance of existing waveform extraction methods are optimal, they are not fast enough for online application, which is important for multi-messenger astronomy. In this paper, we demonstrate that a deep learning architecture consisting of Convolutional Neural Network and bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory components can be used to extract binary black hole (BBH) GW waveforms from realistic noise in a few milli-seconds. We have tested our network systematically on injected GW signals, with component masses uniformly distributed in the range of 10 to 80 solar masses, on Gaussian noise and LIGO detector noise. We find that our model can extract GW waveforms with overlaps of more than 0.95 with pure Numerical Relativity templates for signals with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than six, and is also robust against interfering glitches. We then apply our model to all ten detected BBH events from the first (O1) and second (O2) observation runs, obtaining greater than 0.97 overlaps for all ten extracted BBH waveforms with the corresponding pure templates. We discuss the implication of our result and its future applications to GW localization and mass estimation.

We present a systematic comparison of the binary black hole (BBH) signal waveform reconstructed by two independent and complementary approaches used in LIGO and Virgo source inference: a template-based analysis, and a morphology-independent analysis.
We apply the two approaches to real events and to two sets of simulated observations made by adding simulated BBH signals to LIGO and Virgo detector noise. The first set is representative of the 10 BBH events in the first Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-1). The second set is constructed from a population of BBH systems with total mass and signal strength in the ranges that ground based detectors are typically sensitive. We find that the reconstruction quality of the GWTC-1 events is consistent with the results of both sets of simulated signals. We also demonstrate a simulated case where the presence of a mismodelled effect in the observed signal, namely higher order modes, can be identified through the morphology-independent analysis. This study is relevant for currently progressing and future observational runs by LIGO and Virgo.
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration have cataloged eleven confidently detected gravitational-wave events during the first two observing runs of the advanced detector era. All eleven events were consistent with being from wel
l-modeled mergers between compact stellar-mass objects: black holes or neutron stars. The data around the time of each of these events have been made publicly available through the gravitational-wave open science center. The entirety of the gravitational-wave strain data from the first and second observing runs have also now been made publicly available. There is considerable interest among the broad scientific community in understanding the data and methods used in the analyses. In this paper, we provide an overview of the detector noise properties and the data analysis techniques used to detect gravitational-wave signals and infer the source properties. We describe some of the checks that are performed to validate the analyses and results from the observations of gravitational-wave events. We also address concerns that have been raised about various properties of LIGO-Virgo detector noise and the correctness of our analyses as applied to the resulting data.
Recent detections of merging black holes allow observational tests of the nature of these objects. In some proposed models, non-trivial structure at or near the black hole horizon could lead to echo signals in gravitational wave data. Recently, Abedi
et al. claimed tentative evidence for repeating damped echo signals following the gravitational-wave signals of the binary black hole merger events recorded in the first observational period of the Advanced LIGO interferometers. We reanalyse the same data, addressing some of the shortcomings of their method using more background data and a modified procedure. We find a reduced statistical significance for the claims of evidence for echoes, calculating increased p-values for the null hypothesis of echo-free noise. The reduced significance is entirely consistent with noise, and so we conclude that the analysis of Abedi et al. does not provide any observational evidence for the existence of Planck-scale structure at black hole horizons.
We introduce the use of deep learning ensembles for real-time, gravitational wave detection of spinning binary black hole mergers. This analysis consists of training independent neural networks that simultaneously process strain data from multiple de
tectors. The output of these networks is then combined and processed to identify significant noise triggers. We have applied this methodology in O2 and O3 data finding that deep learning ensembles clearly identify binary black hole mergers in open source data available at the Gravitational-Wave Open Science Center. We have also benchmarked the performance of this new methodology by processing 200 hours of open source, advanced LIGO noise from August 2017. Our findings indicate that our approach identifies real gravitational wave sources in advanced LIGO data with a false positive rate of 1 misclassification for every 2.7 days of searched data. A follow up of these misclassifications identified them as glitches. Our deep learning ensemble represents the first class of neural network classifiers that are trained with millions of modeled waveforms that describe quasi-circular, spinning, non-precessing, binary black hole mergers. Once fully trained, our deep learning ensemble processes advanced LIGO strain data faster than real-time using 4 NVIDIA V100 GPUs.
Over the past year, a handful of new gravitational wave models have been developed to include multiple harmonic modes thereby enabling for the first time fully Bayesian inference studies including higher modes to be performed. Using one recently-deve
loped numerical relativity surrogate model, NRHybSur3dq8, we investigate the importance of higher modes on parameter inference of coalescing massive binary black holes. We focus on examples relevant to the current three-detector network of observatories, with a detector-frame mass set to $120 M_odot$ and with signal amplitude values that are consistent with plausible candidates for the next few observing runs. We show that for such systems the higher mode content will be important for interpreting coalescing binary black holes, reducing systematic bias, and computing properties of the remnant object. Even for comparable-mass binaries and at low signal amplitude, the omission of higher modes can influence posterior probability distributions. We discuss the impact of our results on source population inference and self-consistency tests of general relativity. Our work can be used to better understand asymmetric binary black hole merger events, such as GW190412. Higher modes are critical for such systems, and their omission usually produces substantial parameter biases.
