In a new paper out today, we explain how we have used #GW240925 and #GW250207 for astrophysical calibration of our detectors
Using the characteristic chirp of a gravitational-wave signal, we can check that our detectors are in tune

https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.11703Astrophysical calibration enables us to analyze data we couldn't otherwise
With the inclusion of LIGO Hanford data, #GW250207 is the second loudest ever
Using data from all three detectors makes a big difference to localizing the source
