Journal ArticleDOI

GW151226: observation of gravitational waves from a 22-solar-mass binary black hole coalescence

B. P. Abbott, +973 more
TL;DR: This second gravitational-wave observation provides improved constraints on stellar populations and on deviations from general relativity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laser phase and frequency stabilization using an optical resonator

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a new and highly effective optical frequency discriminator and laser stabilization system based on signals reflected from a stable Fabry-Perot reference interferometer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tests of general relativity with GW150914

B. P. Abbott, +979 more
TL;DR: It is found that the final remnant's mass and spin, as determined from the low-frequency and high-frequency phases of the signal, are mutually consistent with the binary black-hole solution in general relativity.
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.
