ondas gravitacionais, LIGO, ruídoResumen
Este artigo apresenta os desafios enfrentados na busca por sinais de ondas gravitacionais pelos detectores LIGO, decorrentes da presença de ruídos nos dados. Esses ruídos podem se acoplar aos interferômetros por meio de diferentes mecanismos físicos associados ao ambiente ou à instrumentação. Como consequência, eles podem afetar a estimativa de parâmetros das detecções reais, reduzir a significância estatística dos eventos observados ou, em alguns casos, mimetizar sinais astrofísicos.
