GW190814: Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a 23 M$_\odot$ Black Hole with a 2.6 M$_\odot$ Compact Object

R. Abbott, +1254 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the observation of a compact binary coalescence involving a 22.2 -24.3 magnitude black hole and a compact object with a mass of 2.50 -2.67 magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

GW190814: Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a 23 Solar Mass Black Hole with a 2.6 Solar Mass Compact Object

Richard J. Abbott, +1337 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the observation of a compact binary coalescence involving a 222 −243 M ⊙ black hole and a compact object with a mass of 250 −267 M ⋆ (all measurements quoted at the 90% credible level) The gravitational-wave signal, GW190814, was observed during LIGO's and Virgo's third observing run on 2019 August 14 at 21:10:39 UTC and has a signal-to-noise ratio of 25 in the three-detector network.
Journal ArticleDOI

GW190521: A Binary Black Hole Merger with a Total Mass of 150 M

R. Abbott, +1335 more
TL;DR: It is inferred that the primary black hole mass lies within the gap produced by (pulsational) pair-instability supernova processes, with only a 0.32% probability of being below 65 M⊙, which can be considered an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH).
Journal ArticleDOI

Richard J. Abbott, +1350 more
- 09 Jun 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present 39 candidate gravitational wave events from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between 1 April 2019 15:00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15.00.
