Chirp mass based glitch identification in long duration gravitational wave transients

Abstract: The data from the ground-based interferometric gravitational wave detectors(GW) is often masqueraded by highly localised short-duration glitches which pose a serious challenge for any transient GW search. In this work, we propose a glitch identification algorithm for the scenario of presence of a glitch along with a long duration GW transient. We device the chirp mass consistency parameter across different Q planes in the Q-transform. We test this algorithm over a variety of short duration glitches from the observing runs along with a long duration binary inspiral signal. The demonstration of this algorithm for a generic low mass and low eccentricity binary systems shows the direct application of it in the long duration unmodeled searches.
