Gravitational wave astrophysics (iau s338). early results from gravitational wave searches and electromagnetic counterparts, hardback/***

Gravitational waves, predicted by Einsteins general theory of relativity, have now been observed by the LIGO and Virgo detectors, heralding an exciting new era of multimessenger astrophysics.

IAU S338 explores how space-time and electromagnetic messengers can be correlated, to help us understand many high-energy astrophysical phenomena.
