Before the most recent announcement of merging neutron stars, LIGO told the public that they had 8 candidate events from the 2nd observing run (Nov 2016-Aug 2017) that were being studied. We have been given reports on two of those candidates, but what about the rest?
I am hoping for a summary by LIGO of the full catch from the 01 and 02 runs. This information is key for those interested in the statistical implications regarding black hole and neutron star populations.
