Detection of GW190814 from the coalescence of a 23 solar-mass black hole and a 2.6 solar-mass compact object, the most unequal-mass binary yet observed with gravitational waves.
GWTC-4.0 adds 128 new compact-binary coalescence candidates from O4a, with detailed properties for 86, bringing the total catalog to 218 events with p_astro >= 0.5.
