Enhancing confidence in the detection of gravitational waves from compact binaries using signal coherence

We show that gravitational-wave signals from compact binary mergers may be better distinguished from instrumental noise transients by using Bayesian models that look for signal coherence across a detector network. This can be achieved even when the signal power is below the usual threshold for detec...
