- Along with two international colleagues, Mandel was one of three leading contributors to this paper on behalf of the LIGO and Virgo collaborations. He co-led the work to provide an astrophysical interpretation of the binary black hole merger that generated GW150914, the first detected gravitational wave signal. It is described in detail here and also summarised in the gravitational-wave discovery paper, Abbott et al PRL 116, 061102 (2016).
