Calibration of the Advanced LIGO detectors for the discovery of the binary black-hole merger GW150914

In Advanced LIGO, detection and astrophysical source parameter estimation of the binary black hole merger GW150914 requires a calibrated estimate of the gravitational-wave strain sensed by the detectors. Producing an estimate from each detector's differential arm length control loop readout sig...
