TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 20983 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo G275697: Update on significance from offline analyses DATE: 17/04/05 17:09:56 GMT FROM: Alexander H Nitz at Albert Einstein Inst/Hannover The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo report: We report an update on the significance of the gravitational-wave trigger G275697 (GCN 20763) . This trigger was reported by the online PyCBC search with a false alarm rate (FAR) of 4.5 per year; i.e. background noise in the detectors produces 4.5 triggers per year as loud as G275697 in the PyCBC low-latency search. This trigger had low significance, but passed the FAR threshold of ~ 1 / month for generating an alert. We have completed the offline search over the time containing G275697 using the PyCBC (Usman et al. 2016, CQG 33, 215004) and GstLAL (Messick et al. 2016, PRD 95, 042001) searches. These offline analyses provide the final significance for candidate events. Neither search produced a significant trigger at the time of G275697. We conclude that G275697 is not a trigger of interest and does not warrant further follow-up.
