- Vecchio co-led the study of the physical properties of the binary black hole associated to the transient GW150914 and produced most of the results reported that identify the source of the transient as a binary black hole merger. The results used techniques and software that he co-developed and that are mostly based on methods reported initially in Veitch and Vecchio, PRD 81, 062003, 2010; the end-to-end analysis software used for the production analysis is described in the paper which he co-authored (PRD 91, 042003, 2015). He also co-led the LIGO-Virgo writing team of this paper.
