GW190425 was a gravitational wave detected [2] [1] on 19 April 2019 in LIGO [3] and Virgo interferometer. [3] It was a compact binary coalescence [4] with a signal to noise ratio 12.9. It is the result of a collision of two neutron stars or binary stars [5] with a total mass of 3.4 Solar [6] masses [7] (larger than any known binary neutron stars). [8] Its host galaxy is likely UGC 10667. [9]
