The image shows the 90 binary-system mergers that have been observed so far by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detector network. Each box represents one event, with its name reported at the bottom of the box. The masses of the merging objects (either black holes or neutron stars) as well as the final merged object are indicated in solar masses. The colour of each box highlights in which of the three observing runs the event was detected: O1, in 2015-16; O2, in 2016-17; and O3, in 2019-20. The increase
