On the interpretation of the Fermi GBM transient observed in coincidence with LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
V. Connaughton, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +25
The weak transient detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) 0.4 s after GW150914 has generated much speculation regarding its possible association with the black-hole bi…
An Ordinary Short Gamma-Ray Burst with Extraordinary Implications: Fermi-GBM Detection of GRB 170817A
A. Goldstein, P. Veres, E. Burns +27
On August 17, 2017 at 12:41:06 UTC the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detected and triggered on the short gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A. Approximately 1.7 s prior to this GRB, t…
Fermi GBM Observations of LIGO Gravitational Wave event GW150914
V. Connaughton, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +32
With an instantaneous view of 70% of the sky, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is an excellent partner in the search for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave (…
Fermi GBM Observations of GRB 150101B: A Second Nearby Event with a Short Hard Spike and a Soft Tail
E. Burns, P. Veres, V. Connaughton +19
In light of the joint multimessenger detection of a binary neutron star merger as the gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A and in gravitational waves as GW170817, we reanalyze the Fermi Gam…
Searching the Gamma-ray Sky for Counterparts to Gravitational Wave Sources: Fermi GBM and LAT Observations of LVT151012 and GW151226
J. L. Racusin, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +138
We present the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations of the LIGO binary black hole merger event GW151226 and candi- date LVT151012. No can…
Supplement: Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1538
This Supplement provides supporting material for arXiv:1602.08492 . We briefly summarize past electromagnetic (EM) follow-up efforts as well as the organization and policy of the c…
