Properties of the Binary Black Hole Merger GW150914

Abstract: On September 14, 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected a gravitational-wave transient (GW150914); we characterize the properties of the source and its parameters. The data around the time of the event were analyzed coherently across the LIGO network using a suite of accurate waveform models that describe gravitational waves from a compact binary system in general relativity. GW150914 was produced by a nearly equal mass binary black hole of masses 36 þ5 −4 M ⊙ and 29 þ4 −… Show more

“…We find this analysis to be broadly consistent with the results in Ref. [2]. By using the difference between two precessing waveform models as a proxy for systematic errors due to waveform uncertainty, we can compute a more accurate systematic error than what was possible in Ref.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…9 and 13. The SEOB/IMRPP values stated here are directly comparable to Table I of [37] for GW150914 and to Table I of [4] for GW170104, and are broadly consistent with published LIGO analyses.…”

“…Figure 20 shows the posterior densities for the M − q and q − χ eff subspaces. The consistency between the three waveform models is in agreement with previous studies, demonstrating that systematic errors were below the statistical errors for this event [6,8,123].…”
