journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-21, 11:28 authored by Abbott, BP, Abbott, R, Karelle SiellezKarelle Siellez, Zweizig, JWe 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 detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory during their second observing run, with a network signal-to-noise ratio of 13 and a false alarm rate less than 1 in 70 000 years.
