Description

The search for electromagnetic counterparts or neutrino emissions from gravitational-wave sources engages a wide scientific community. Here, we outline the pathway that led to the birth of multi-messenger astronomy with the first direct observations of the gravitational-wave signals measured to date, focusing on the new challenges of LIGO and Virgo Observing Run 3 (O3) and the beginning of the public gravitational-wave alert era.
