Bounding the Time Delay between High-energy Neutrinos and Gravitational-wave Transients from Gamma-ray Bursts

Baret, Bruny, Bartos, Imre, Bouhou, Boutayeb et al.

Understand

We derive a conservative coincidence time window for joint searches of gravita-tional-wave (GW) transients and high-energy neutrinos (HENs, with energies above 100GeV), emitted by gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).

  • The last are among the most interesting astrophysical sources for coincident detections with current and near-future detectors.
  • We take into account a broad range of emission mechanisms.
  • We take the upper limit of GRB durations as the 95% quantile of the T90's of GRBs observed by BATSE, obtaining a GRB duration upper limit of ~150s.
