Localizing Gravitational Wave Events for Electromagnetic Followup

This article discusses the localization of gravitational wave events for electromagnetic follow-up observations, highlighting the work of the Virgo Collaboration in detecting and studying gravitational waves. It also explores the effect of gravitational waves and the use of detector networks for accurate localization.

Alerts TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 21505 SUBJECT: LIGO/Virgo G298048: Fermi GBM trigger 524666471/170817529: LIGO/Virgo Identification of a possible gravitational-wave counterpart DATE: 17/08/17 13:21:42 GMT FROM: Reed Clasey Essick at MIT <ressick@mit.edu> The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration report: The online CBC pipeline (gstlal) has made a preliminary identification of a GW candidate associated with the time of Fermi GBM trigger 524666471/170817529 at gps time 1187008884.47 (Thu Aug 17 12:41:06 GMT 2017) with RA=186.62deg Dec=-48.84deg and an error radius of 17.45deg. The candidate is consistent with a neutron star binary coalescence with False Alarm Rate of ~1/10,000 years. An offline analysis is ongoing. Any significant updates will be provided by a new Circular. [GCN OPS NOTE(17aug17): Per author's request, the LIGO/VIRGO ID was added to the beginning of the Subject-line.]
