Gravitational-Wave Astronomy in Action — •Frank Ohme — Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), Hannover, Germany — Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany

The Advanced LIGO gravitational-wave detectors and Virgo have concluded their first two observing runs and are about to start the longest observing run yet, O3. In total, the gravitational-wave signals of ten black-hole binary mergers and one binary neutron-star system have been observed and released in the first Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-1). In my talk, I will summarize these observations, the methods that were used to identify them, and I will give a glimpse of what we can expect to come in the near future.
