Proposal for Multi-Messenger Observations of Radio Transients by Nasu and Ligo-Virgo
Abstract
The gravitational waves radiated from explosions of compact objects are expected to be accompanied by other astronomical radiation such as radio flares, neutrinos and gamma-rays. In order to improve the detection of gravitational waves, mutual follow-up observations have been proposed between gravitational wave telescopes and other astronomical telescopes, known as ``multi-messenger'' observations. We propose multi-messenger observations using the LIGO, Virgo and Nasu Radio Telescopes.
