TLDR
LIGO as discussed by the authors is a trio of extremely sensitive Michelson interferometers built to detect gravitational waves from space, and the results of their recent observations are described in detail.Abstract:
LIGO is a trio of extremely sensitive Michelson interferometers built to detect gravitational waves from space. We describe predicted sources of gravitational waves, our detectors, and the results of our recent observations.read more
