The main report can be found on the detchar wiki, but here are the highlights:
-
Total duty cycle is 61.7%. The majority of the time the range is between 75-80 Mpc.
-
First few days of the shift show very typical days in terms of glitch rate. The last 2 days diverge from the norm due to the second harmonic of the ETMY violin mode.
-
The second harmonic of the ETMY violin mode at 1008.45 Hz has been slowly ringing up over the last few days. First evidence comes on saturday at 19:30-21:00 UTC with the glitch rate increasing due to glitches at ~2000 and 3000 Hz (4th/6th harmonic). Things seem to stabilise though and the lock continues. However at 9:30 UTC on sunday the violin mode again becomes unstable and runs away. First indications can be seen again from glitches at 2/3kHz.
-
Hveto picks ASC-AS_A_RF45_Q_YAW_OUT_DQ as a good witness when the alignment doesn't appear to be good. The 60 Hz glitches at end Y are still present and showing up strongly.

Recommended flags - create a flag for this troublesome ETMY time on sunday. Will CAT1 veto.
