<i>Swift</i> Multiwavelength Follow-up of LVC S200224ca and the Implications for Binary Black Hole Mergers

Abstract On 2020 February 24, during their third observing run (“O3”), the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory and Virgo Collaboration detected S200224ca: a candidate gravitational wave (GW) event produced by a binary black hole (BBH) merger. This event was one of the best-localized compact binary coalescences detected in O3 (with 50%/90% …
