Bayesian approach to gravitational wave multi-messenger astronomy
Abstract
The detection of gravitational waves from black hole binary mergers, gravitational waves from binary neutron star mergers, its counterparts and host galaxy open the new ear of gravitational wave multi-messenger astronomy. We briefly introduce the role of joint observations of gravitational waves, electromagnetic observations, host galaxies in studies of higher detection efficiency, better characterisation of the signal progenitor, richer interpretation of source population properties. We summarise a Bayesian approach to multi-messenger astronomy for above topics and its applications of joint observations of gravitational waves-short gamma-ray burst, gravitational waves-host galaxies.
