| Abstract: |
By extrapolating the number of detections made during the first LIGO science
run, tenths of gravitational wave signals from binary black hole mergers are
anticipated in upcoming LIGO Virgo science runs. Finding an electromagnetic
counterpart for compact binary merger events would be a capital achievement.
We evaluate the ability of current wide-field X- and gamma-ray telescopes
aboard INTEGRAL to find such counterparts thanks to an end-to-end simulation
for estimating the fraction of the sources that can be followed up and/or
detected. |
