    • The CAL group decided to generate the strain data of O4a KAGRA data by applying the high-pass filter (FIR) and correcting the time-delay shift. Now it's underway.
    • 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.
