Search for Coincident Gravitational-wave and Fast Radio Burst Events from 4-OGC and the First CHIME/FRB Catalog

Understand

Advanced LIGO and Virgo have reported 90 confident gravitational-wave (GW) observations from compact-binary coalescences from their three observation runs.

• In addition, numerous subthreshold gravitational-wave candidates have been identified.
• Binary neutron star (BNS) mergers can produce gravitational waves and short-gamma ray bursts, as confirmed by GW170817/GRB 170817A.
• There may be electromagnetic counterparts recorded in archival observations associated with subthreshold gravitational-wave candidates.
