56. Of Needles and Haystacks: Lessons from the GW-MMADS follow-up campaign during the fourth LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA observing run

Tomas Cabrera (Carnegie Mellon University)

6/10/26, 9:25 AM

Gravitational wave follow-up requires iterative observation, analysis, and decision-making on the order of hours in the most extreme of cases. To this extent, it is a subfield where throughput is defined not only by the amount of pertinent data, but rather the speed at which the information in the data can be synthesized into a human-digestible format. In this talk I will present the...

44. Radio Follow-up of GW Events: Opportunities and Challenges (Remote Presentation)

Alessandra Corsi (John Hopkins University)

6/10/26, 9:50 AM

In this talk, I will discuss current and future opportunities in the radio follow-up of gravitational-wave (GW) events using interferometric, PI-driven facilities such as the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and the future next-generation VLA (ngVLA). I will highlight lessons learned from recent GW observing runs, and strategies for identifying and characterizing relativistic ejecta and...

39. The VLA Sky Survey and multi-messenger astronomy

Mark Lacy

6/10/26, 10:10 AM

The VLA Sky Survey images the whole sky at 2-4GHz in the radio with angular resolution comparable to optical telescopes, providing a unique reference survey for the radio sky. Multi-epoch data allows variable sources and transients to be found and characterized and spectral and polarimetric information is also recorded. Processing the large amount of data from this survey is a significant...
