| Abstract | The past 10 years of gravitational wave observations with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) have resulted in the first detection of gravitational waves, the first observation of binary black holes and of black-hole neutron-star binaries, as well as the beginning of the era of multimessenger astronomy with gravitational waves. We are now concluding the fourth observing run and preparing for the second decade of gravitational wave observations. Together with the Europe |
