We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced
LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years …

We describe the first observations of the same celestial object with gravitational waves and
light.▪ GW170817 was the first detection of a neutron star merger with gravitational waves.▪ …

Gravitational waves provide a unique tool for observational astronomy. While the first LIGO–
Virgo catalogue of gravitational-wave transients (GWTC-1) contains 11 signals from black …

The afterglow of the binary neutron-star merger GW170817 gave evidence for a structured
relativistic jet,,,–and a link,, between such mergers and short gamma-ray bursts …

We present a comprehensive optical and near-infrared census of the fields of 90 short
gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) discovered in 2005–2021, constituting all short GRBs for which …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with gravitational wave events are, and will likely
continue to be, viewed at a larger inclination than GRBs without gravitational wave …

Abstract We present Chandra and Very Large Array observations of GW170817 at∼ 521–
743 days post-merger, and a homogeneous analysis of the entire Chandra data set. We find …

For the first∼ 3 yrs after the binary neutron star merger event GW 170817, the radio and X-
ray radiation has been dominated by emission from a structured relativistic off-axis jet …

Two neutron stars merge somewhere in the Universe approximately every 10 to 100 s,
creating violent explosions potentially observable in gravitational waves and across the …

Mergers of binaries consisting of two neutron stars, or a black hole and a neutron star, offer a
unique opportunity to study a range of physical and astrophysical processes using two …
