An increased estimate of the merger rate of double neutron stars from observations of a highly relativistic system
- M. Burgay, N. D'Amico, +10 authors D. Lorimer
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 2 December 2003
The merger of close binary systems containing two neutron stars should produce a burst of gravitational waves, as predicted by the theory of general relativity. A reliable estimate of the… Expand
ASTROPHYSICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE BINARY BLACK HOLE MERGER GW150914
- B. Abbott, R. Abbott, +959 authors J. Zweizig
- Physics
- 11 February 2016
The discovery of the gravitational-wave source GW150914 with the Advanced LIGO detectors provides the first observational evidence for the existence of binary black-hole systems that inspiral and… Expand
Binary Black Hole Mergers in the First Advanced LIGO Observing Run
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, T. Abbott, +971 authors 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… Expand
The Rate of Binary Black Hole Mergers Inferred from Advanced LIGO Observations Surrounding GW150914
- The Ligo Scientific Collaboration, T. Abbott, +963 authors 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… Expand
Host Galaxies Catalog Used in LIGO Searches for Compact Binary Coalescence Events

An up-to-date catalog of nearby galaxies considered to be hosts of binary compact objects is provided, with complete information about sky position, distance, extinction-corrected blue luminosity,… Expand
Prospects for observing and localizing gravitational-wave transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA
- B. Abbott, R. Abbott, +1,097 authors J. Zweizig
- Physics, Medicine
- Living reviews in relativity
- 1 April 2018
We present possible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy… Expand
Parameter estimation for compact binaries with ground-based gravitational-wave observations using the LALInference software library
- J. Veitch, V. Raymond, +24 authors L. Wade
- Physics
- 25 September 2014
The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave (GW) detectors will begin operation in the coming years, with compact binary coalescence events a likely source for the first detections. The… Expand
Exploring the Sensitivity of Next Generation Gravitational Wave Detectors
The second-generation of gravitational-wave detectors are just starting operation, and have already yielding their first detections. Research is now concentrated on how to maximize the scientific… Expand
Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914
- B. Abbott, R. Abbott, +1,514 authors S. Rosswog

A gravitational-wave (GW) transient was identified in data recorded by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors on 2015 September 14. The event, initially… Expand
The mass distribution of stellar-mass black holes
- W. Farr, N. Sravan, +4 authors V. Kalogera
- Physics
- 5 November 2010
We perform a Bayesian analysis of the mass distribution of stellar-mass black holes using the observed masses of 15 low-mass X-ray binary systems undergoing Roche lobe overflow and 5 high-mass,… Expand
