TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported 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) binaries.

TL;DR: The GW190521 signal as mentioned in this paper is consistent with a binary black hole merger source at redshift 0.8 with unusually high component masses, and shows mild evidence for spin-induced orbital precession.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the stochastic gravitational-wave background from binary black holes, created from the incoherent superposition of all the merging binaries in the Universe, is potentially measurable by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors operating at their projected final sensitivity.

TL;DR: The transient noise backgrounds used to determine the significance of the event (designated GW150914) are described and the results of investigations into potential correlated or uncorrelated sources of transient noise in the detectors around the time of theevent are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the sky localization of the first observed compact binary merger is presented, where the authors describe the low-latency analysis of the LIGO data and present a sky localization map.
