【 摘 要 】

In preceding papers we have shown the fundamental aspects of the General Relativity (GR), of the emission and detection of gravitational waves (GW). With the same objective we analyze the two recent observations of the GW done by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the United States of America. These GW observations known as the GW150914 and GW151226 events are emitted by binary-star systems of black-holes (BBH). We present the basic principles of the laser interferometric technique that today is considered as the only one able to detect with certainty the GW. Using a simple relativistic approach we explain approximately the observed GW in the spiral stage.
