GW170814

Estimated location of the gravitational wave

GW170814 was a gravitational wave signal from two colliding black holes.

The wave signal was registered on August 14, 2017 by three LIGO and Virgo detectors. This was published by the two observatories on September 27, 2017. It was the fourth confirmed gravitational wave signal after GW150914 , GW151226 and GW170104 and the first signal to be detected by the two observatories simultaneously. This was three days before the GW170817 signal.
