«The game to see the light from these catastrophic mergers is on,» says Mansi Kasliwal, assistant professor of astronomy and the leader of the Caltech effort to search
for electromagnetic emission from gravitational waves using the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory, a robotic survey for astrophysical transients (brief, intense flashes of light), and a network of other telescopes.

So thirsty are theorists
for new insights into black holes and relativistic processes that, with each LIGO detection, observational astronomers have leapt into action to target those enormous patches of sky, hoping to see some afterglow or other
emission of
electromagnetic radiation — even though by definition the resulting larger black hole should emit no light.
Another of his recent work, on how to strategically point telescopes to find
electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave sources, was adapted
for observations by the Very Large Array radio telescope in New Mexico, which successfully observed radio
emission from the merger.
