Activity: detect your own gravitational waves

Credit: Gravitational Wave Open Science Center

Introductory: fit a waveform to a gravitational wave signal

Advanced: use a matched filter algorithm to reproduce the key plots in A guide to LIGO-Virgo detector noise and extratraction of transient gravitational-wave signals" (arXiv:1908.11170) and detect GW150914, the first gravitational wave signal!
