Timing Witness Signals Indicate Trustworthy Timing for Candidate G270580

Document #:

LIGO-T1700041-v1

Document type:

T - Technical notes

Abstract:

As an extra precaution, we examined the timing witness signals to ensure that the aLIGO datastream’s timing was perfect around G270580, observed at 1168950677= Fri Jan 20 12:30:59 UTC 2017. We found that the DuoTone witness indicated excellent timing performance on the sub-microsecond level and the IRIG-B signals indicated precise second decoding.
