Memorandum of Understanding (LIGO-M1000080-v1, VIR-0362A-10) between theMemorandum of Understanding • October 30th, 2021
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishes collaboration among the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory Scientific Collaboration (LSC)1, the European Gravitational Observatory and Virgo Collaboration (EGO/Virgo), and the Transients Key Science Project (Transients KSP) of the LOFAR collaboration, to perform a joint search for gravitational-wave events accompanied by radio transients. The joint detection of such an event would be a landmark occurrence and could provide unique information about the progenitor and astrophysics of the emission. On the other hand, the absence of a radio counterpart to a gravitational-wave event candidate, or conversely the absence of a gravitational-wave signal accompanying certain radio transients, could also provide significant information about the possible source astrophysics.
