  • GW170104: Observation of a 50-Solar-Mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence at Redshift 0.2 
    Abbott, B.P.; Abbott, R.; Abbott, T.D.; Acernese, F.; Ackley, K.; et al.; LIGO Scientific Collaboration; Virgo Collaboration (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2017)
    We describe the observation of GW170104, a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of a pair of stellar-mass black holes. The signal was measured on January 4, 2017 at 10 11:58.6 UTC by the twin advanced ...
  • Observation of gravitational waves from a binary black hole merger 
    Abbott, B.P.; Abbott, R.; Abbott, T.D.; Abernathy, M.R.; Acernese, F.; et al.; LIGO Scientific Collaboration; Virgo Collaboration (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2016)
    On September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory simultaneously observed a transient gravitational-wave signal. The signal sweeps upwards in frequency from ...
  • On the distribution of stellar-sized black hole spins 
    Nielsen, Alex B. (Bristol : Institute of Physics Publishing, 2016)
    Black hole spin will have a large impact on searches for gravitational waves with advanced detectors. While only a few stellar mass black hole spins have been measured using X- ray techniques, gravitational wave detectors ...
