Description

We discuss the impact of adding more detectors on gravitational-wave burst detection confidence, using the BayesWave algorithm: a source-agnostic Bayesian analysis pipeline. BayesWave reconstructs non-Gaussian transient features in detector data for the characterisation of astrophysical signals and instrumental glitches.
