Multi-messenger astronomy is of great interest. The localization speed of gravitational wave sources is important for the success of electromagnetic follow-up. Although current gravitational wave source localization methods take up to a few seconds, even that is not sufficient for some electromagnetic bands. Therefore, one needs a more rapid localization method even if it is less accurate. Building upon an Excess power method, we describe a new localization method for compact object collisions that produces posterior probability maps in only a few hundred milliseconds. Some accuracy is lost, with the searched sky areas being approximately $10$ times larger. We imagine this new technique playing a role in a hierarchical scheme where fast early location estimates are iteratively improved upon as better analyses complete on longer time scales.

  1. Investigating the effect of sensitivity of KAGRA on sky localization of gravitational-wave sources from compact binary coalescences

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    KAGRA enhances sky localization of binary neutron star mergers in the LVK network via added baselines, with measurable gains at current sensitivity and larger improvements as range reaches ~30 Mpc.
