Description
In January 2020, the LIGO–Virgo detector network observed
gravitational-wave signals from two compact binary inspirals which are
consistent with neutron star–black hole (NSBH) binaries. These
represent the first confident observations to date of NSBH binaries
via any observational means. I discuss the characterstic of these
events and their level of confidence, what we can learn from them and
the perspectives for future detections of the same kind.
