Latest false alarm rate for #S251112cm with an updated background model of about 1 in 4 yr, so slightly less significant

Oo! Interesting #GravitationalWave candidate #S251112cm potentially from a *subsolar* mass source
If real, the source probably has chirp mass ~0.1–0.87 solar masses
False alarm rate 1 in 6.2 yr

"10 years ago, LIGO saw its first gravitational wave. After 218 detections, our view of black holes has changed forever."

LIGO and Virgo will resume observing on 11 June joined by KAGRA! All four of our kilometre-scale #GravitationalWave detectors will observe at the same time!
Our observing run (O4) has been extended to run until 18 November 2025 and we are looking forward to many discoveries
