Abstract

The observation of GRB170817A in conjunction with the gravitational wave event GW170817 pushed forward the field of multimessenger astronomy and confirmed the link between short GRBs and binary neutron star inspirals. During LIGO's 9 month second observing run there were over 200 other GRBs detected by various satellites. We present results of a targeted search for gravitational waves associated with these GRBs. Also, we discuss the search for gravitational waves associated with GRBs in O3.
