Binary Black Hole Population Properties Inferred from the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

B. P. Abbott, +1138 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass, spin, and redshift distributions of binary black hole (BBH) mergers with LIGO and Advanced Virgo observations were analyzed using phenomenological population models.
Journal ArticleDOI

GW150914: The Advanced LIGO Detectors in the Era of First Discoveries

B. P. Abbott, +958 more
TL;DR: Following a major upgrade, the two advanced detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) held their first observation run between September 2015 and January 2016, and observed a transient gravitational-wave signal determined to be the coalescence of two black holes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Properties of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

B. P. Abbott, +1146 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors improved initial estimates of the binary's properties, including component masses, spins, and tidal parameters, using the known source location, improved modeling, and recalibrated Virgo data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population Properties of Compact Objects from the Second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

Richard J. Abbott, +1431 more
TL;DR: In this article, the population of 47 compact binary mergers detected with a false-alarm rate of 0.614 were dynamically assembled, and the authors found that the BBH rate likely increases with redshift, but not faster than the star formation rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Binary Black Hole Population Properties Inferred from the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

B. P. Abbott, +1218 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass, spin, and redshift distributions of binary black hole (BBH) mergers with LIGO and Advanced Virgo observations were analyzed using phenomenological population models.
