Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Coalescences Detected during the Second Advanced LIGO/Virgo Observing Run

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

The second observing run (O2) of the advanced Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo has yielded additional detections of gravitational waves produced by compact binary coalescences, including both binary black hole mergers and binary neutron star collisions. This talk will provide a census of the gravitational wave events that have been reported by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration to date.
