Early Warning of Gravitational Waves from Neutron Star Mergers
Amanda Baylor
Graduate Student
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
For the past decade, ground-based gravitational-wave observatories have been making detections of ripples in the fabric of spacetime from the mergers of black holes and neutron stars. Mergers involving at least one neutron star could also produce electromagnetic counterparts which may reveal new insights into the physics of these astrophysical phenomena. However, if electromagnetic observatories are not pointed at the location of the source prior to merger, we miss vital information about the physics of merger.
