For the first case, you would need a signal that lasts for at least half a year. Does that cover two black holes merging?


Well, technically, they black holes circle each other for billion of years. So with instruments sensitive enough, you could do that. Unfortunately, LIGO and the others are only sensitive enough to see the last few parts of a second, when the signal is strongest.
