They're listening on a really noise channel. It seems premature to talk about the frequency of the detected events matching some expected rate when they keep tuning their filters to the expectations.
I recently read an article deploring the missing confirmation of the mergers through light-based astronomy. I can't find the article now, so I'm just going to list another one: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24032022-600-exclusive-grave-doubts-over-ligos-discovery-of-gravitational-waves/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24032022-600-exclusiv... Has anything changed from what is described in the article?

- kryptiskt 7y agoThere has been confirmation, I don't know why that article doesn't bother to mention it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW170817 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW170817
- lolc 7y agoThe article does mention the 17. August 2017 event just not under the GW170817 name. From the article: > They point out that the collaboration initially registered the event as a false alarm because it coincided with what’s known as a “glitch”.
