During O1 and O2 run there was a detection with a low probability of a NS-BH merger, but physicists are sure it was a BBH merger.
However, lets be optimititc because LIGO/Virgo have measured 5 NS-BH mergers in the O3 run. I have been told that LIGO is going to do in April a press conference talking about all these results. Lets be patient until then.
Even more, KAGRA, the japanese observatory for gravitacional waves is about to start measuring too in late February.
