Description

Abstract: Electromagnetic priors can greatly aid searches for gravitational waves with the advanced detectors LIGO-Virgo and KAGRA. Of particular interest are GRBs and core-collapse SNe. We discuss some recent phenomenology that points to inner engines comprising black holes rather than (proto-)neutron stars. It points to a new class of long duration gravitational wave bursts from turbulent matter around rotating black holes of interest to searches in the Local Universe within ~35 Mpc.
