Description
The first direct detection of gravitational waves originated from a binary
black hole coalescence during advanced LIGO's first observing run in September
2015. A subsequent confirmed detection in December of the same year
established the birth of gravitational wave astronomy and the expectation that
binary black hole mergers will be frequently observed with ground-based
gravitational wave observatories over the coming decade. We will discuss binary
black hole discoveries to date along with the ongoing searches for black holes
in advanced LIGO's second observing run, which began in November 2016.
