Astrophysical Implications Drawn from Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
ORAL
Abstract
Following a major instrumentation upgrade, the Advanced LIGO detectors recently completed the first observing run. In this talk I will highlight constraints expected to be drawn from the analysis of this observational data set, in the context of astrophysical models for the formation and eventual mergers of binary compact objects in a wide range of stellar environments.
