Some suspected Black hole mergers

[exponent137]

As I read in May, approximately 8 candidates existed as candidates for black hole mergers. http://www.ligo.org/news.php This is no more written in this link.

Are these other candidates already excluded? Are there any papers intended about these candidates?

One of them has been confirmed by now. Based on the false positive rate they have it is likely that the rest couldn't be confirmed. LIGO/VIRGO plan to publish statistical analyses of weaker signals in the future, but that will take more time than individual highly significant events.

We have 5 binary black hole mergers, one binary neutron star merger and likely a 6th binary black hole merger. Here is a list.
