Evidence for a dual population of neutron star mergers from short Gamma-Ray Burst observations
K. Siellez, M. Boer, B. Gendre +1
Short duration Gamma-Ray Bursts are thought to originate from the coalescence of neutron stars in binary systems. They are detected as a brief ( 2s), intense flash of gamma-ray…
Directly comparing GW150914 with numerical solutions of Einstein's equations for binary black hole coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +979
We compare GW150914 directly to simulations of coalescing binary black holes in full general relativity, accounting for all the spin-weighted quadrupolar modes, and separately acco…
Observing gravitational-wave transient GW150914 with minimal assumptions
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration
The gravitational-wave signal GW150914 was first identified on Sept 14 2015 by searches for short-duration gravitational-wave transients. These searches identify time-correlated tr…
Properties of the Binary Black Hole Merger GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +987
On September 14, 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detected a gravitational-wave transient (GW150914); we characterize the properties of the sour…
