Low-latency (near real-time) detection of gravitational waves (GW) is crucial for multimessenger astronomy. I contribute to maintaining and operating the GstLAL-based search pipeline, a flagship detection pipeline used by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, for the present observing run (May 2023 - ongoing).
