Abstract

Identification of gravitational wave (GW) sources in electromagnetic (EM) wave observations is important because it enables us to understand the property of the GW-emitting sources/mechanisms much better than the GW detection. For that reason, a large number of astronomers are working on observations to identify the position and the nature of GW sources. We give a short overview of the expected EM signals from GW sources and the current EM follow-up observations that have been undertaken in Korea and the world.
