Description
Title: Detection of electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational waves and their applications
Speaker：Wen Zhao
Abstract:
The detection of gravitational wave events from the merger of two neutron stars and their multi-band electromagnetic counterparts marks the advent of the era of multi-messenger gravitational wave astronomy. Among them, optical counterparts play a very important role in the study of gravitational wave astronomy. This report introduces the basic properties of the electromagnetic counterparts of the compact binary neutron star merger gravitational wave event, especially the current status and prospects of the search for electromagnetic counterparts using WFST Telescope.
