Abstract

On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio of 14.7, and an estimated false-alarm rate of 1 in 4900 yr using a search sensitive to generic transients. If GW190521 is from a quasicircular binary inspiral, then the detected signal is consistent with the merger of two black holes with masses of 85⁺²¹₋₁₄ M_⊙ and 66⁺¹⁷₋₁₈ M_⊙ (90% credible intervals). We infer that the primary black hole mass lies within the gap produced by (pulsational) pair-instability supernova processes, with only a 0.32% probability of being below 65 M_⊙. We calculate the mass of the remnant to be 142⁺²⁸₋₁₆ M_⊙, which can be considered an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH). The luminosity distance of the source is 5.3^(+2.4)_(−2.6)  Gpc, corresponding to a redshift of 0.82^(+0.28)_(−0.34). The inferred rate of mergers similar to GW190521 is 0.13^(+0.30)_(−0.11) Gpc⁻³ yr⁻¹.
