Neutron Star & Black Hole Binaries
• Coalescing NS-‐NS, NS-‐BH, BH-‐BH binaries emit GWs in 10-‐1000 Hz range in the last few minutes before merger. – NS-‐NS rates: 10-‐8 y-‐1 Mpc-‐3 to
10-‐5 y-‐1 Mpc-‐3 – O(1)/yr within 100 Mpc – Most promising source for
LIGO / Virgo. – Short GRB associa0on; e.g.

Figure 5: Network sensitivity and localization accuracy for face-on BNS systems with advanceddetector networks. The ellipses show 90% confidence localization areas, and the red crosses showregions of the sky where the signal would not be confidently detected. The top two plots show thelocalization expected for a BNS system at 80 Mpc by the HLV network in the 2016–17 run (left)and 2017–18 run (right). The bottom two plots show the localization expected for a BNS systemat 160 Mpc by the HLV network in the 2019+ run (left) and by the HILV network in 2022+ withall detectors at final design sensitivity (right). The inclusion of a fourth site in India provides goodlocalization over the whole sky.

5 ConclusionsWe have presented a possible observing scenario for the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgonetwork of gravitational wave detectors, with emphasis on the expected sensitivities and sky local-ization accuracies. This network is expected to begin operations in 2015. Unless the most optimisticastrophysical rates hold, two or more detectors with an average range of at least 100 Mpc and witha run of several months will be required for detection.
Electromagnetic followup of GW candidates may help confirm GW candidates that would notbe confidently identified from GW observations alone. However, such follow-ups would need todeal with large position uncertainties, with areas of many tens to thousands of square degrees.This is likely to remain the situation until late in the decade. Optimizing the EM follow-up andsource identification is an outstanding research topic. Triggering of focused searches in GW databy EM-detected events can also help in recovering otherwise hidden GW signals.
Networks with at least 2 detectors with sensitivities of the order of 200Mpc are expected to yielddetections with a year of observation based purely on GW data even under pessimistic predictionsof signal rates. Sky localization will continue to be poor until a third detector reaches a sensitivitywithin a factor of ⇠ 2 of the others and with a broad frequency bandwidth. With a four-sitedetector network at final design sensitivity, we may expect a significant fraction of GW signals tobe localized to as well as a few square degrees by GW observations alone.
The purpose of this document is to provide information to the astronomy community to facil-itate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with advanced gravitational-wave detectors. Whilethe scenarios described here are our best current projections, they will likely evolve as detectorinstallation and commissioning progresses. We will therefore update this document regularly.

GW Alerts
Advanced LIGO first science run: late 2015. • Data will be analysed for BNS and other transient signals with few-‐
minute latency & prompt GW alerts will be released [Abadie et al. 1109.3498].
Phase 1 (first four detec0ons): • Private: exchange of GW candidates with EM partners will be
governed by memoranda of understanding (MOUs). – Currently about 60 partners. – Next MOU cycle deadline: Feb 15 (Sunday). – Workshop for MOU partners: April 23, Cascina.
Phase 2 (afer first 4 detec0ons): • Public release of GW candidates.

Alert Mechanics
• SKll under development – collaborator input welcomed! • Minutes-‐scale latency analysis of data for transients (binaries,
generic bursts). – Also hours-‐scale dedicated follow-‐ups of GRBs, SNEWS, and other
“external triggers”. • Candidate GW event released afer basic vesng. Rate: TBD.
– VOEvent format, distributed via private GCN. – Updated alerts as refined sky posi0on informa0on or other
informa0on becomes available. – Observing partners able to annotate GW database with informa0on
about follow-‐up observa0ons and possible counterparts. • Tools s0ll under development; aim to exercise in next
engineering run (April/May).

Summary
• 2015 – 2020 will be the early years of GW astronomy
• Uncertainty in source rates mean first detec0ons could be early or late in this period.
• GW source localisa0on depends strongly on the number and rela0ve sensi0vity of detectors, but always > several sq deg. – Need both wide FOV and deep follow-‐up observa0ons across the EM spectrum: high energy (GRB & X-‐ray satellites), UV/visible/IR, radio.
– EM alerts also need for triggering deep GW searches (short/long/low-‐luminosity GRBs, supernovae, magnetar flares, etc.)
– Strong GW – astronomer collabora0ons to tackle needle-‐in-‐a-‐haystack problem.

• Near the detec0on threshold:
-
GWs as Astrophysical Probes
• GWs trace the bulk mo0on of their source – not scaOered / absorbed – non-‐imaging (wavelength larger than source)
• GW detectors are all-‐sky, low bandwidth. – archival searches: easy. – source localiza0on: hard.
• Complementary to proper0es of photons.
