Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
- Physics
- 11 February 2016
On September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory simultaneously observed a transient gravitational-wave signal. The signal sweeps…
GW170817: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Neutron Star Inspiral
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
- Physics
- 16 October 2017
On August 17, 2017 at 12:41:04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral. The signal, GW170817, was detected…
GWTC-1: A Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog of Compact Binary Mergers Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First and Second Observing Runs
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, T. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- PhysicsPhysical Review X
- 30 November 2018
We present the results from three gravitational-wave searches for coalescing compact binaries with component masses above 1$\mathrm{M}_\odot$ during the first and second observing runs of the…
Binary Black Hole Mergers in the First Advanced LIGO Observing Run
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, T. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- Physics
- 15 June 2016
The first observational run of the Advanced LIGO detectors, from September 12, 2015 to January 19, 2016, saw the first detections of gravitational waves from binary black hole mergers. In this paper…
GW190814: Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a 23 Solar Mass Black Hole with a 2.6 Solar Mass Compact Object
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, T. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- PhysicsThe Astrophysical Journal
- 22 June 2020
We report the observation of a compact binary coalescence involving a 22.2–24.3 M ⊙ black hole and a compact object with a mass of 2.50–2.67 M ⊙ (all measurements quoted at the 90% credible level).…
GW190425: Observation of a Compact Binary Coalescence with Total Mass ∼ 3.4 M ⊙
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, T. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- PhysicsThe Astrophysical Journal
- 7 January 2020
On 2019 April 25, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a compact binary coalescence with signal-to-noise ratio 12.9. The Virgo detector was also taking data that did not contribute to detection due…
The Rate of Binary Black Hole Mergers Inferred from Advanced LIGO Observations Surrounding GW150914
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, T. Abbott, J. Zweizig
- Physics
- 11 February 2016
A transient gravitational-wave signal, GW150914, was identified in the twin Advanced LIGO detectors on September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC. To assess the implications of this discovery, the detectors…
GW151226: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a 22-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
- Physics
- 15 June 2016
We report the observation of a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of two stellar-mass black holes. The signal, GW151226, was observed by the twin detectors of the Laser…
Properties of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, J. Zweizig
- PhysicsPhysical Review X
- 29 May 2018
On August 17, 2017, the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors observed a low-mass compact binary inspiral. The initial sky localization of the source of the gravitational-wave…
Population Properties of Compact Objects from the Second LIGO–Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog
