    • The issue was already shared with the calibration group and open data group in KAGRA operation. The detailed annoucement will be done soon.
    • The applied filter to surpress the dynamic range was inproper. They plan to update the filter.

    • Authentification with Scitoken is not implemented in the current igwn conda environment yet. We should use the igwn-testing or igwn-starging. web

    • At the same time, open data group is requesting to provide the segment of the observing mode after excluding the CAT1 data (not via DQSEGDB) for the paper.
  • IPC glitch on the low-latency strain
    • The length of time contaminated by one IPC glitch was reported to differ between low-latency strain and online strain, by Chia-Jui Chou.
    • In case of online strain, basically the length including the IPC glitch is less than 1 second. But, in the case of low-latency strain, it's more than 1 second. The filter length is 4 seconds. So, if we take the time margin +/-2 seconds, it will be fine.
    • We will consider to update the segment file if the low-latency strain will be the final output from the calibration group, and proper channel lists to catch the IPC glitch in the low-latency strain.

    • Originally, we planned to exclude the 1 second, including the IPC glitch, from the analysis. The additional FIR filter widens the time affected by the IPC glitch. We changed the plan to exclude 7 seconds (3+1+3 seconds) from the analysis.
    • After excluding the segment including the IPC glitch, we also exclude the science mode of less than 64 seconds.
