Gravitational-wave astronomy is one of the youngest and the most dynamically progressing field in modern astronomy. It allows us to observe and understand objects and events invisible in electromagnetic waves. Among promising sources of gravitational waves are that continuously-emitted, periodic and almost-monochromatic gravitational waves are produced e.g. due to the elastically and/or...
To evaluate the significance of the event, we need to estimate the background distribution of the detection statistic.
The data analysis in LSC collaboration apply the time shift method for the data of two detectors to estimate the significance.
In this talk, we present about the new method to estimate the background distribution and the significance in the compact binary coalescence search.
