First low-latency LIGO+Virgo search for binary inspirals and their electromagnetic counterparts
First low-latency LIGO+Virgo search for binary inspirals and their electromagnetic counterparts
Aims. The detection and measurement of gravitational-waves from coalescing neutron-star binary systems is an important science goal for ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. In addition to emitting gravitational-waves at frequencies that span the most sensitive bands of the LIGO and Virgo detectors, these sources are also amongst the most likely to produce …
