- Lundgren was co-chair of the detector characterization working group during the second observing run of LIGO when this 50-solar-mass binary black hole coalescence (GW170104) happened. He led the efforts to maintain the performance of the detectors and minimise the search background, and coordinate the communication with both the data analysis/search groups and instrumentalists working with the detectors. This work was critical to making a confident detection of this very short (about 0.1 second in the sensitive band) binary black hole signal.
