GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run (2020, unknown): “Since 2 April 2019 20:00 UTC, the LVC produced automated, public preliminary GCN notices for gravitational-wave candidate events appearing in two or more interferometers with FARs less than 6 per year before a multiple analysis trials factor was applied, resulting in an effective threshold of 1.2 yr”

Dynamical boson stars (2012, background): “In particular, LIGO directly detected the gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger, and ringdown of a BH binary [3].”
Cosmology and Fundamental Physics with the Euclid Satellite (2012, unknown): “It applies to modes propagating on cosmological scales and is quite weakly constrained despite the recent detection from LIGO [3, 189].”
Rates of compact object coalescences (2021, background): “On 14 September, 2015, the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO, Aasi et al. 2015) detected the first chirp of gravitational waves from a binary BH merger, GW150914 (Abbott et al., 2016b).”
Innermost stable circular orbit and shadow of the 4D Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet black hole (2020, unknown): “On the other hand, the first detection of gravitational waves from a binary black hole merger by the LIGO/Virgo Collaborations [24] opened a new window to probe gravity in the strong field regime, which then enables us to test gravity theories alternative to general relativity [25].”
Search for New Physics with Atoms and Molecules (2017, unknown): “The detection of the gravitational waves (GW) by the Advanced LIGO in 2015 (Abbott et al., 2016a,b) initiated the field of gravitational-wave astronomy.”
Born–Infeld inspired modifications of gravity (2017, background): “Moreover, the amazing direct observation of gravitational waves by the LIGO collaboration is also compatible with the prediction of GR for the merging of two black holes, where strong field effects are relevant [2, 1].”
GWTC-1: A Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog of Compact Binary Mergers Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First and Second Observing Runs (2018, background): “The first binary black hole observation, GW150914, remains the highest SNR event in O 1 and the second highest in the combined O 1 and O 2 datasets, behind only the binary neutron star inspiral GW170817.”
