EM Followup: Past, Present, Future

Summary

Invited talk on electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational-wave sources: short-GRB kilonovae as counterparts to neutron-star mergers, the state of rapid optical follow-up of LIGO/Virgo triggers, and what wide-field surveys (LSST, WFIRST, SASIR, Pan-STARRS) could add in the advanced-detector era.

Listed in the program as “Wide-field Surveys” (Friday, January 28, 10:00–10:30, in “Observational Strategies and Instrumentation I”); the slides, archived from the workshop site, carry the title above.
