This weekend, the LIGO and Virgo collaborations have released their
catalog of compact binary coalescence observations from the first two
observing runs, including four more previously unpublished binary black
hole mergers. This talk will summarize the astrophysical results from
matched-filter and burst searches, estimates of the source properties of
binary coalescences found with Bayesian inference techniques and
waveform models assuming general relativity, as well as the inferred
merger rates and BBH population properties.
