Journal ArticleDOI

GW151226: observation of gravitational waves from a 22-solar-mass binary black hole coalescence

B. P. Abbott, +973 more
TL;DR: This second gravitational-wave observation provides improved constraints on stellar populations and on deviations from general relativity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced Virgo: a second-generation interferometric gravitational wave detector

Fausto Acernese, +233 more
TL;DR: Advanced Virgo as mentioned in this paper is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detection rate) by three orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced Virgo: a 2nd generation interferometric gravitational wave detector

Fausto Acernese, +227 more
TL;DR: Advanced Virgo as discussed by the authors is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detection rate) by three orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Einstein Telescope: a third-generation gravitational wave observatory

M. Punturo, +134 more
TL;DR: The third-generation ground-based observatory Einstein Telescope (ET) project as discussed by the authors is currently in its design study phase, and it can be seen as the first step in this direction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tests of general relativity with GW150914

B. P. Abbott, +979 more
TL;DR: It is found that the final remnant's mass and spin, as determined from the low-frequency and high-frequency phases of the signal, are mutually consistent with the binary black-hole solution in general relativity.
