News Summary

• Gravitational waves were first confirmed in 2017 by scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) Since then, over 390 gravitational wave events have been detected.
• The sensitivity of these detectors depends on many factors, and at any given moment, one of them may not be operating at full capacity.
• Researchers with the network have now developed a new and efficient tool for doing just that.
• It's called Astrophysical Calibration, and it acts upon GW events the same way autotune works in music production.
