LIGO和Virgo探测器直接观测到了恒星质量黑洞对合并产生的引力波，沿着的还有少量涉及中子星的合并。这些观测结果带来了希望，紧凑的物体合并可以作为恒星和双星演化的探测器，也许还有恒星动力学。这篇学术讨论会风格的文章总结了现有的观测结果，描述了合并恒星质量黑洞双星形成通道的理论预测沿着以及它们的速率和可观测性质，并提出了引力波天文学的一些前景。
The LIGO and Virgo detectors have directly observed gravitational waves from mergers of pairs of stellar-mass black holes, along with a smaller number of mergers involving neutron stars. These observations raise the hope that compact object mergers could be used as a probe of stellar and binary evolution, and perhaps of stellar dynamics. This colloquium-style article summarises the existing observations, describes theoretical predictions for formation channels of merging stellar-mass black-hole binaries along with their rates and observable properties, and presents some prospects for gravitational-wave astronomy.
