A comprehensive simulation framework for multi-modal kilonova observations from all-sky surveys
Felipe Fontinele Nunes, Andrew Toivonen, Farhana Taiyebah +5
Current all-sky surveys such as Vera Rubin's Legacy Survey of Space and Time and the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) promise a wealth of scientific gains that are contained in the…
ZTF25abjmnps (AT2025ulz) and S250818k: A Candidate Superkilonova from a Sub-threshold Sub-Solar Gravitational Wave Trigger
Mansi M. Kasliwal, Tomas Ahumada, Robert Stein +61
On August 18, 2025, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration reported gravitational waves from a sub-threshold binary neutron star merger. If astrophysical, this event would have a surpr…
Astrophysical or Terrestrial: Machine learning classification of gravitational-wave candidates using multiple-search information
Seiya Tsukamoto, Andrew Toivonen, Holton Griffin +6
Low-latency gravitational-wave alerts provide the greater multi-messenger community with information about the candidate events detected by the International Gravitational-Wave Net…
Low-latency Forecasts of Kilonova Light Curves for Rubin and ZTF
Natalya Plestkova, Niharika Sravan, R. Weizmann Kiendrebeogo +11
Follow-up of gravitational-wave events by wide-field surveys is a crucial tool for the discovery of electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave sources, such as kilonovae. M…
LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA neutron star merger candidate S250206dm: Zwicky Transient Facility observations
Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Mattia Bulla +49
We present the searches conducted with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in response to S250206dm, a bona fide event with a false alarm rate of one in 25 years, detected by the I…
Limits on the Ejecta Mass During the Search for Kilonovae Associated with Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers: A case study of S230518h, GW230529, S230627c and the Low-Significance Candidate S240422ed
M. Pillas, S. Antier, K. Ackley +78
Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers, detectable via their gravitational-wave (GW) emission, are expected to produce kilonovae (KNe). Four NSBH candidates have been identified an…
Electromagnetic Follow-up to Gravitational Wave Events with the UltraViolet EXplorer (UVEX)
Alexander W. Criswell, Sydney C. Leggio, Michael W. Coughlin +9
The Ultraviolet Explorer (UVEX) is expected to fly in 2030 and will have the opportunity -- and the rapid near/far ultraviolet (UV) capabilities -- to glean unprecedented insight i…
What to expect: kilonova light curve predictions via equation of state marginalization
Andrew Toivonen, Gargi Mansingh, Holton Griffin +13
Efficient multi-messenger observations of gravitational-wave candidates from compact binary coalescence candidate events rely on data products reported in low-latency by the Intern…
Searching for gravitational wave optical counterparts with the Zwicky Transient Facility: summary of O4a
Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin +49
During the first half of the fourth observing run (O4a) of the International Gravitational Wave Network (IGWN), the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) conducted a systematic search fo…
Bayesian real-time classification of multi-messenger electromagnetic and gravitational-wave observations
Marina Berbel, Miquel Miravet-Tenés, Sushant Sharma Chaudhary +7
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 u…
Low-latency gravitational wave alert products and their performance at the time of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
Sushant Sharma Chaudhary, Andrew Toivonen, Gaurav Waratkar +50
Multi-messenger searches for BNS and NSBH mergers are currently one of the most exciting areas of astronomy. The search for joint electromagnetic and neutrino counterparts to GWs h…
