TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an up-to-date summary of the rates for all types of compact binary coalescence sources detectable by the Initial and Advanced versions of the ground-based LIGO and Virgo Astrophysical estimates for compact-binary coalescence rates depend on a number of assumptions and unknown model parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a matched-filter search using relativistic models of compact-object binaries that recovered GW150914 as the most significant event during the coincident observations between the two LIGO detectors were reported.

TL;DR: The implementation of a search for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences in LIGO and Virgo data is described and it is demonstrated that the signal consistency tests are capable of mitigating the effect of non-Gaussian noise and providing a sensitivity comparable to that achieved in Gaussian noise.

TL;DR: In this article, an updated search for gravitational waves from 116 known millisecond and young pulsars using data from the fifth science run of the LIGO detectors was presented, where ephemerides overlapping the run period were obtained using radio and X-ray observations.
