ANSWER: Group of scientists
 
  • Indian Initiative in Gravitational-wave Observations (IndIGO) comprises scientists from nine institutions working under the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC).
  • The group, which focusses on novel gravitational wave detection algorithms, directly contributed in testing general relativity with the black hole binary termed GW150914. With extensive computational analysis, the study found that the emitted signal is consistent with the predictions of general relativity.
