| Abstract | For most of human history, astronomers have used light to study the cosmos. However, the discovery of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015 has added a transformative new dimension to this pursuit, heralding a new era of multi-messenger astronomy. This approach combines observations made with gravitational waves and those made with light to provide more comprehensive insights into cosmic events than either messenger could yield on its own. The study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in particular, which |
