- Abstract:
- Quickly detecting CBC using early warning detectors will allow multi-messenger astronomy to observe the onset of electromagnetic emission from CBC, and by utilizing existing technology we could produce early warning triggers before gravitational radiation from the final merger has arrived at the detectors [3]. Early warning detection of GW will yield information about astrophysical phenomena even before information gathered from devices that read the electromagnetic spectrum can be collected. More importantly, this kind of detection will make it possible to change the state of an instrument in response to the presence of a signal, optimizing the sensitivity of the instrument and thus the value of the information.
