GW190425: Pan-STARRS and ATLAS coverage of the skymap and limits on optical emission associated with FRB190425

S. J. Smartt, M. Nicholl, S. Srivastav +32

GW190425 is the second of only two binary neutron star (BNS) merger events to be significantly detected by the LIGO-Virgo- Kagra gravitational wave detectors. With a detection only…
