- 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…
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…

- 29 June 2021
We report the observation of gravitational waves from two compact binary coalescences in LIGO’s and Virgo’s third observing run with properties consistent with neutron star–black hole (NSBH)…
Characterization of transient noise in Advanced LIGO relevant to gravitational wave signal GW150914
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
- Physics
- 11 February 2016
On September 14, 2015, a gravitational wave signal from a coalescing black hole binary system was observed by the Advanced LIGO detectors. This paper describes the transient noise backgrounds used to…
GW150914: Implications for the stochastic gravitational wave background from binary black holes
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
- Physics
- 11 February 2016
The LIGO detection of the gravitational wave transient GW150914, from the inspiral and merger of two black holes with masses $\gtrsim 30\, \text{M}_\odot$, suggests a population of binary black holes…
Astrophysical Implications of the Binary Black-Hole Merger GW150914
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
- Physics
- 11 February 2016
The discovery of the gravitational-wave (GW) source GW150914 with the Advanced LIGO detectors provides the first observational evidence for the existence of binary black hole (BH) systems that…
