GW170608: Observation of a 19 solar-mass binary black hole coalescence

B. P. Abbott, +1154 more
TL;DR: In this article, a GW signal from the merger of two stellar-mass black holes was observed by the two Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory detectors with a network signal-to-noise ratio of 13.5%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the LIGO detectors during their sixth science run

J. Aasi, +887 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the performance of the LIGO instruments during this epoch, the work done to characterize the detectors and their data, and the effect that transient and continuous noise artefacts have on the sensitivity of the detectors to a variety of astrophysical sources.
Journal ArticleDOI

GW190425: Observation of a Compact Binary Coalescence with Total Mass ∼ 3.4 M O

B. P. Abbott, +1274 more
TL;DR: In 2019, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a compact binary coalescence with signal-to-noise ratio 12.9 and the Virgo detector was also taking data that did not contribute to detection due to a low SINR but were used for subsequent parameter estimation as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Binary Black Hole Mergers in the First Advanced LIGO Observing Run

B. P. Abbott, +981 more
- 21 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: The first observational run of the Advanced LIGO detectors, from September 12, 2015 to January 19, 2016, saw the first detections of gravitational waves from binary black hole mergers as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictions for the rates of compact binary coalescences observable by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors

J. Abadie, +722 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Kalogera et al. presented an up-to-date summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the initial and advanced versions of the ground-based gravitational-wave detectors LIGO and Virgo.
