Open Data Workshop 2024

Registration is now open for the 2024 Open Data Workshop. This free workshop provides a crash-course in GW data analysis. You can participate online or in an in-person Study Hub. The workshop will be April 18-20, 2024.

We’ve released 16 additional channels from O3 !

Researchers at IAS made a request for some additional O3 data, and we’ve made these data available. The data release is intended to support studies of noise cleaning methods, and is available in frames with the tag AUX_CLN. It builds on a previous O3 auxiliary data release. We hope this will be useful for your research.

Learn more on the O3 Auxiliary Channel Data Release page.
