Gap and Glitch Simulation for Taiji Data Challenge

Simulating the detection process of a space-based gravitational wave (GW) measurement system is crucial for the task demonstration, design, operation and data processing. Gaps and glitches, which are common types of abnormal events in the detection process, are an important part of data simulation. This paper explores two gap models and three glitch models, provides a comprehensive overview of these models. The implementation of these models in Taiji Data, the simulation data of the Taiji program, is designed. Dedicated software modules were developed to incorporate the gap and glitch models into the simulation process. The impact of adding gap and glitch to the measurement is illustrated and analyzed. Finally, the time-series simulation detection data of space GWs that integrates gap and glitch models has been obtained, providing support for promoting the improvement of the detection data processing capabilities.
