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…
