Abstract
The recent detections of merging black holes allow for observational tests of the nature of these objects, such as searching for the GW echo signals proposed in some models. Tentative evidence for these was presented, found in an analysis based upon methods for GW data analysis as demonstrated on the Ligo Open Science Center. We present the results of characterising these method's behaviour when applied to the specific form of the echo signals, and address problems and improvements based on our findings.
