journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-21, 11:23 authored by Abbott, BP, Abbott, R, Karelle SiellezKarelle Siellez, Zweizig, JOn August 14, 2017 at 10∶30:43 UTC, the Advanced Virgo detector and the two Advanced LIGO detectors coherently observed a transient gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of two stellar mass black holes, with a false-alarm rate of ≲1 in 27 000 years. The signal was observed with a three-detector network matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 18.
