Abstract

GW 170817 marks the first gravitational wave detection of a binary neutron-star (BNS) merger by the Advanced LIGO and the Advanced VIRGO detectors. This is also the first gravitational wave event from which the electromagnetic (EM) emission was seen all the way from gamma-rays to radio bands. We detected it in radio bands 16 days after the detection [2].
