7、别（这种搜索方法并不关心精确的引力波波形，它通过寻找可能为引力波的某些特征迹象来较快速地寻找引力波），在仅仅三分钟之后，低延迟搜索方法就将此作为引力波的候选事件汇报了出来。之后LIGO干涉仪获得的引力波应变数据又被LSC的数据分析专家们拿来和一个海量的由理论计算产生的波形库中的波形相对照，这个过程是为了找到和原数据最匹配的波形，也就是通常所说的匹配滤波器法。图7展示了进一步数据分析后的主要结果，证实了GW150914是两个黑洞并合的事件,未来方向：,目前并没有看到LIGO详细的发展规划，但其团队发表在Physical Review Letters上的文章，在后面的OUTLOOK部分，它们提到了
