An international team of physicists, including University of Oregon
scientists, has concluded that last February's intense burst of gamma
rays possibly coming from the Andromeda Galaxy lacked a gravitational
wave. That absence, they say, rules out an initial interpretation that
the burst came from merging neutron stars or black holes within
Andromeda.

have been detected???
If so I have missed a few newsitems.
If not, on what is this message based?
Until you have detected some events, the absence
of a GR wave should not prove anything.
Or is this only based on the theoretical model,
that we should have been able to detect this one??
