Multi-Messenger Gravitational Wave Signals: Expectations and Results — •Alexander Unzicker — Pestalozzi-Gymnasium München

An overview of the LIGO/VIRGO and possibly KAGRA results on gravitational waves is given, based on the template-free statistical method proposed by Liu et.al. (arXiv:1802.00340, CJAP). Special attention is given to the recent concerns about high-false-alarm rates among trigger events. In particular, the multi-messenger results are discussed and compared with earlier predictions.
