Abstract
The initial detection of gravitational waves at LIGO (Laser Interferometric Gravitational Observatory) from merging massive stellar objects ushered in a new type of astronomy [1]. Improved detector sensitivities increased the observable volume of space from which gravitational wave events can be detected. This has brought into focus the era of multi-messenger astronomy in 2017 [2], where various types of observation from different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum (radio, infrared, visible, X-ray, gamma rays) can observe simultaneously the same cataclysmic events expending our understanding of the universe, elements creation and the birth and death of stars.
