About this document
GW190521: Massive Black Hole Merger by Dennis Infante is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the detection of GW190521, a gravitational wave signal detected by the LIGO and Virgo observatories on May 21, 2019. Analysis of the signal found it was consistent with a binary black hole merger with component masses of 85+21−14 M⊙ and 66−18 M⊙, totaling around 150 M⊙. This makes it the most massive binary black hole merger detected to date. The remnant black hole has an estimated mass of 142+28−16 M⊙, qualifying it as an intermediate-mass black hole. This detection provides eviden
