GWTC-1: A Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog of Compact Binary Mergers Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First and Second Observing Runs

Short summary

LIGO and Virgo detected gravitational waves from 10 compact binary mergers (3 binary black holes in O1, 7 binary black holes and 1 binary neutron star in O2), providing merger rates for neutron stars (110-3840 Gpc⁻³yr⁻¹) and black holes (9.7-101 Gpc⁻³yr⁻¹).
