GWTC-1: A Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog of Compact Binary Mergers Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First and Second Observing Runs (2018, background): “The observed time delays and amplitude and phase consistency of the signals at the sites allow us to localize the signal on the sky [191 – 193].”
Binary Black Hole Mergers in the First Advanced LIGO Observing Run (2016, background): “Sky localization from a gravitational-wave detector network is primarily determined by the measured delay in the signal arriving at the sites, with additional information coming from the signal amplitude and phase [122–124].”
Bayesian inference for compact binary coalescences with bilby: validation and application to the first LIGO–Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalogue (2020, methodology): “…spin-off RIFT (Lange et al. 2018) use highly-parallelized grid-based methods to compute the posterior probability distribution, while bayestar (Singer & Price 2016; Singer et al. 2016) rapidly localizes gravitational-wave sources, calculating probabilities on a multiresolution grid of the sky.”
The Discovery of the Electromagnetic Counterpart of GW170817: Kilonova AT 2017gfo/DLT17ck (2017, methodology): “When a LVC GW event is announced, the BAYESTAR sky map (Singer & Price 2016) is cross-matched with the DLT40 galaxy sample.”
Prospects for observing and localizing gravitational-wave transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA (2013, methodology): “For CBC signals, rapid localization is performed using bayestar (Singer and Price 2016), a Bayesian parameter-estimation code that computes source location using output from the detection pipeline.”
MASTER Optical Detection of the First LIGO/Virgo Neutron Star Binary Merger GW170817 (2017, background): “Starting from 2017 August 17 22:58:48 UT, MASTER-OAFA observed the new BAYESTAR-HLV localization map of LIGO/Virgo G298048 with unfiltered images (180 s exposures), down to a limiting magnitude of 19–20m.”
Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (2013, methodology): “The simple model of equation (1) ignores many other relevant issues such as information from the signal amplitudes across the detector network, uncertainty in the emitted gravitational waveform, instrumental calibration accuracies, and correlation of sky location with other binary parameters [55, 11”
Multi-messenger observations of a binary neutron star merger (2017, methodology): “These data were then combined to produce the first three-instrument skymap(Singer & Price 2016; Singer et al. 2016) at 17:54:51 UTC(LIGO Scientific Collaboration & Virgo Collaboration et al. 2017b), placing the source nearby, at a luminosity distance initially estimated to be 40 8 8 - + , Mpc in an…”
GWTC-2.1: Deep extended catalog of compact binary coalescences observed by LIGO and Virgo during the first half of the third observing run (2021, methodology): “The source localizations are computed using the rapid localization tool BAYESTAR [291, 292], which was also used to produce the localizations in near real time during the observing runs while sending out GW alerts.”
