This sounds like very exiting stuff! I am curious how this relates to EAH. Are they referring to EAH analysis of the data and that in that in that analysis no gravitational waves are found? If not, how was the mentioned analysis different from what we are doing?

These new S5 results, published in Nature, are upper limits on a stochastic background of gravitational waves. This is a very different type of source than E@H is searching for, so no, the E@H analysis did not contribute to this result.

(You can find links to the formal published E@H results on the E@H front page.)
