Bayesian real-time classification of multi-messenger electromagnetic and gravitational-wave observations

Understand

Because of the electromagnetic radiation produced during the merger, compact binary coalescences with neutron stars may result in multi-messenger observations.

• In order to follow up on the gravitational-wave signal with electromagnetic telescopes, it is critical to promptly identify the properties of these sources.
• This identification must rely on the properties of the progenitor source, such as the component masses and spins, as determined by low-latency detection pipelines in real time.
• The output of these pipelines, however, might be biased, which could decrease the accuracy of parameter recovery.
