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

Binary Black Hole Mergers in the first Advanced LIGO Observing Run

B. P. Abbott, +972 more
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

GW190425: Observation of a Compact Binary Coalescence with Total Mass $\sim 3.4 M_{\odot}$

B. P. Abbott, +1199 more
TL;DR: In 2019, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a compact binary coalescence with signal-to-noise ratio 12.9 as mentioned in this paper, which is consistent with the individual binary components being neutron stars.
Journal ArticleDOI

The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey — I. The optical luminosity function of quasi-stellar objects

TL;DR: In this article, the optical luminosity function of quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) and its cosmological evolution with redshift for a sample of over 6000 QSOs identified primarily from the first observations of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ).
Journal ArticleDOI
