GW170608: Observation of a 19-solar-mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence

B. P. Abbott, +1101 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the signal waveform is consistent with the predictions of general relativity and verify that the signals from the merger of two stellar-mass black holes in the LIGO detectors are consistent with these predictions.
Journal ArticleDOI

GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run

Richard J. Abbott, +1350 more
- 09 Jun 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present 39 candidate gravitational wave events from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between 1 April 2019 15:00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15.00.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gravitational wave observatory operating beyond the quantum shot-noise limit

J. Abadie, +614 more
- 11 Sep 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the squeezed-light enhancement of GEO600, which will be the GW observatory operated by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration in its search for GWs for the next 3-4 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced sensitivity of the LIGO gravitational wave detector by using squeezed states of light

J. Aasi, +748 more
- 01 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors inject squeezed states to improve the performance of one of the detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) beyond the quantum noise limit, most notably in the frequency region down to 150 Hz.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA

B. P. Abbott, +1138 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present possible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to facilitate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves.
