  • A. GW150914
    GW150914 is the first directly detected gravitational-wave signal, produced by the merger of two stellar-mass black holes and marking the beginning of gravitational-wave astronomy.
  • B. LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA network
    The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA network is an international collaboration of ground-based gravitational-wave observatories that jointly detect and analyze ripples in spacetime from cosmic events like merging black holes and neutron stars.
  • C. LIGO Scientific Collaboration
    The LIGO Scientific Collaboration is an international group of scientists and institutions that built and operate the LIGO detectors and made the first direct detection of gravitational waves, confirming a key prediction of Einstein’s general relativity.
  • D. KAGRA gravitational-wave detector
    The KAGRA gravitational-wave detector is a large-scale underground interferometer in Japan that uses cryogenically cooled mirrors to detect ripples in spacetime from cosmic events.
  • E. LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory)
    LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) is a large-scale physics experiment and observatory designed to detect and study gravitational waves using highly sensitive laser interferometry.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
