TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the first constraints on the progenitor of GW170817 at the time of the second supernova (SN) and found these constraints to be comparable to those for Galactic BNS progenitors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the PyCBC pipeline was used to search for gravitational wave signals from compact binary coalescences, and the output of PyCBC was used as a metric for improvement.

TL;DR: Details of the method and computations are given, including information about the search pipelines, a derivation of the likelihood function for the analysis, a description of the astrophysical search trigger distribution expected from merging BBHs, details on the computational methods, and an analytic method of estimating the detector sensitivity that is calibrated to the measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first and second observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detector network were used to obtain the first standard-siren measurement of the Hubble constant.

TL;DR: Abbott et al. as mentioned in this paper compared the four probability sky maps produced for the gravitational-wave transient GW150914, and provided additional details of the EM follow-up observations that were performed in the different bands.
