GW Alerts on Your Phone

Detection Alerts

• Detection Alert Apps: Want to know when the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected gravitational waves? There's an app for that! We now publicize 'candidate' detections to the whole world as soon as we nab one (they're called 'candidates' until they've been fully vetted, which can take some time). Now you can receive these alert notifications at the same time as the broader scientific community right on your smartphone:

Apple:

• Gravitational Wave Events (alerts in a public-friendly format)
• Astro-COLIBRI (alerts in a more detailed format)

Android:

• Astro-COLIBRI (alerts in a more detailed format)
