TLDR
For example, noninteracting binary systems with companion stars are typically found via their x-ray emission, generated by interaction and accretion as mentioned in this paper, and are expected to be plentiful in the Gala...

The Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

Duncan A. Brown
- 16 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: The first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger were reported in this paper, with a false alarm rate estimated to be less than 1 event per 203,000 years, equivalent to a significance greater than 5.1σ.

Advection-Dominated Accretion: Underfed Black Holes and Neutron Stars

Ramesh Narayan, +1 more
- 15 Nov 1994 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe new optically thin solutions for rotating accretion flows around black holes and neutron stars, which are advection dominated, so that most of the viscously dissipated energy is advected radially with the flow.

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
- 22 Jun 2020 - 
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.

GW190814: Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a 23 Solar Mass Black Hole with a 2.6 Solar Mass Compact Object

Richard J. Abbott, +1337 more
- 23 Jun 2020 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the observation of a compact binary coalescence involving a 222 −243 M ⊙ black hole and a compact object with a mass of 250 −267 M ⋆ (all measurements quoted at the 90% credible level) The gravitational-wave signal, GW190814, was observed during LIGO's and Virgo's third observing run on 2019 August 14 at 21:10:39 UTC and has a signal-to-noise ratio of 25 in the three-detector network.

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.

The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS)

Michael F. Skrutskie, +31 more
- 01 Feb 2006 - 
TL;DR: The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) as mentioned in this paper collected 25.4 Tbytes of raw imaging data from two dedicated 1.3 m diameter telescopes located at Mount Hopkins, Arizona and CerroTololo, Chile.

The relationship between infrared, optical, and ultraviolet extinction

Jason A. Cardelli, +2 more
- 01 Oct 1989 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the average extinction law over the 3.5 micron to 0.125 wavelength range was derived for both diffuse and dense regions of the interstellar medium. And the validity of the law over a large wavelength interval suggests that the processes which modify the sizes and compositions of grains are stochastic in nature.

Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

B. P. Abbott, +1011 more
- 11 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: This is the first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger, and these observations demonstrate the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems.

GW170817: observation of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral

B. P. Abbott, +1134 more
- 16 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: The association of GRB 170817A, detected by Fermi-GBM 1.7 s after the coalescence, corroborates the hypothesis of a neutron star merger and provides the first direct evidence of a link between these mergers and short γ-ray bursts.
