I don't know that they're sensitive enough to detect the orbital period 
waves.

The two black holes don't instantly form a single spherical black hole. 
There's a period of oscillation. I think that's what was detected.

Combining black holes is the standard way of recovering some of the mass 
that went into them.

Sylvia.
