However, the data containing GW191109 are afflicted with\u0000terrestrial noise transients, i.e., detector glitches, generated by the\u0000scattering of laser light in both LIGO detectors. We study the implications of\u0000the glitch(es) on the inferred properties and astrophysical interpretation of\u0000GW191109. Using time- and frequency-domain analysis methods, we isolate the\u0000critical data for spin inference to 35 - 40 Hz and 0.1 - 0.04 s before the\u0000merger in LIGO Livingston, directly coincident with the glitch. Using two\u0000models of glitch behavior, one tailored to slow scattered light and one more\u0000generic, we perform joint inference of the glitch and binary parameters. When\u0000the glitch is modeled as slow scattered light, the binary parameters favor\u0000anti-aligned spins, in agreement with existing interpretations. When more\u0000flexible glitch modeling based on sine-Gaussian wavelets is used instead, a\u0000bimodal aligned/anti-aligned solution emerges.
