I will present the path towards this detection using the second generation of gravitational wave interferometers, and summarize the open analysis challenges, prospects for astrophysical inference and the potential for multi-messenger astronomy with combined information from the electromagnetic and neutrino sectors.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Opening a window on the gravitational wave transient sky"}],"uid":"27664","created_gmt":"2014-01-21 10:56:08","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:06:28","author":"Alison Morain","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2014-01-23T14:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2014-01-23T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2014-01-23T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2014-01-23 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2014-01-23 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2014-01-23 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"126011","name":"School of Physics"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"84391","name":"Opening a window on the gravitational wave transient sky"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:alison.morain@physics.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ealison.morain@physics.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
