Recent Results from LIGO and Virgo

Recently the LIGO and Virgo Collaborations reported on 39 candidate gravitational wave discoveries from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo between 1 April 2019 and 1 October 2019. This new catalog contains events whose sources are black hole binary mergers up to a redshift of $\sim$0.8, as well as events which could plausibly originate from binary neutron stars, neutron star-black hole binaries, or binary black holes. The candidate events which are unambiguously identified as binary black holes (both objects }$\ge 3 \mathrm{M}_\odot$ have total masses between $\sim 14 \mathrm{M}_\odot$ and $\sim 150 \mathrm{M}_\odot$. I will describe these new discoveries and provide an overview of ongoing activities in the LIGO/Virgo search for compact binary coalescences.
