Characterizing the physical parameters of the Black Hole Binary coalescence GW170104: Distances, Masses, and Spins.

Gravitational waves start a new era of observational astronomy, allowing us to investigate the astrophysics of binary black holes and test general relativity. The present thesis is aimed to explain what are gravitational waves, how they were predicted and could be studied. It is focused on the characterization of the physical parameters, such as distances, masses, and spins, describing the event of collision of a two Black Holes binary system using the PyCBC software to analyze the data from the event GW170104 detected by the Large Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) on January 4, 2017. The inference masses of the initial black holes are for the first black hole 37.4_(-8)^(+6.8) M_⊙ and for the second one 22.9_(-6.4)^(+5.6) M_⊙. The luminosity distance 1090_(-540)^(+360) Mpc, and effective inspiral spin -0.09_(-0.22)^(+0.16). We will do it with the data from the LIGO documentation.
