TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give direct experimental evidence for the observation of the full transverse self-modulation of a long relativistic proton bunch propagating through a dense plasma.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run, where they found no significant signal candidate and set the most stringent upper limits to date on the amplitude of gravitational wave signals from the target population.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of possible systematic errors in the waveform models on estimates of its source parameters were investigated and no evidence for a systematic bias relative to the statistical error of the original parameter recovery of GW150914 due to modeling approximations or modeling inaccuracies was found.

TL;DR: In this article, features of the signal visible in the data are analyzed using concepts from Newtonian physics and general relativity, accessible to anyone with a general physics background, consistent with the fully general-relativistic analyses published elsewhere, showing that the signal was produced by the inspiral and subsequent merger of two black holes.

TL;DR: In this paper, an all-sky search for gravitational waves (GWs) from merging intermediate mass black hole binaries (IMBHBs) was performed. But no GWs from IMBHB were detected; therefore, the most stringent limit was obtained for black holes of individual mass 100 ǫ m⊙, with spins aligned with the binary orbital angular momentum.
