Rapid detection of compact binary coalescence (CBC) with a network of advanced gravitational-wave detectors will offer a unique opportunity for multi-messenger astronomy. Prompt detection alerts for the astronomical community might make it possible to observe the onset of electromagnetic emission from CBC. We demonstrate a computationally practical filtering strategy that could produce early-warning triggers before gravitational radiation from the final merger has arrived at the detectors.

• The chemically homogeneous evolutionary channel for binary black hole mergers: rates and properties of gravitational-wave events detectable by advanced LIGO (2016, background): “In practice, gravitational-wave search pipelines (e.g., Babak et al. 2013; Cannon et al. 2012) use more complex statistics than the signal-to-noise ratio to treat non-stationary, non-Gaussian noise backgrounds.”
• Multi-messenger observations of a binary neutron star merger (2017, methodology): “Approximately 6 minutes later, a gravitational-wave candidate (later designated GW170817) was registered in low latency(Cannon et al. 2012; Messick et al. 2017) based on a single-detector analysis of the Laser Interferometer Gravitationalwave Observatory (LIGO)Hanford data.”
• THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FOLLOW-UP WITH ADVANCED LIGO AND VIRGO (2014, methodology): “A simulated signal is then considered to be detected by GSTLAL_INSPIRAL if it gives rise to a coincidence with sufficiently low false alarm probability as estimated from the S/N and χ2 values.”
• Prospects for observing and localizing gravitational-wave transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA (2013, methodology): “GW150914, LVT151012 and GW151226 are visible in both the GstLAL and PyCBC results (Abbott et al. 2016e, c) shown in Fig.”
• IDENTIFYING ELUSIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC COUNTERPARTS TO GRAVITATIONAL WAVE MERGERS: AN END-TO-END SIMULATION (2012, background): “In the era of advanced detectors, efforts are underway to reduce the latency timescale to less than ten minutes (Singer et al. 2012; Cannon et al. 2012).”
• Where Are LIGO’s Big Black Holes? (2017, unknown): “The choice for Mmin is motivated by the empirical lower mass gap, while Mmax and Mtot,max are set by the stellar binary matched-filter search, which defines stellarmass BBHs as those with source-frame total masses m1 +m2≤ 100M (Cannon et al. 2012; Usman et al. 2016; Abbott et al. 2016b).”

• Neutron-powered precursors of kilonovae (2014, background): “Our work strongly motivates ongoing efforts to reduce the latency time of gravitational wave detectors (Cannon et al. 2012) and to develop rapid follow-up observing strategies with sensitive ground-based optical telescopes (e.g. Aasi et al. 2014).”
