| Abstract : | The detection of gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A by Fermi-GBM, coinciding with gravitational wave GW170817, is one of the extraordinary discoveries in the history of multimessenger era. It is not only the first binary neutron star (BNS) merger detected by the advanced (LIGO-Virgo) GW detectors, it is the only GW detection with a confirmed electromagnetic (EM) counterpart. The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is an all-sky monitoring instrument sensitive to photon energies from 8 keV to 40 MeV. Its capabilities allow it to observe nearly 40 short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) each year through on-board triggers alone. Fermi-GBM continues to look for similar multimessenger detections through on-board triggers as well as subthreshold searches for weak transients, performed both in high-time-resolution continuous data and in targeted follow-ups of gravitational-wave events. In this talk, I will present an overview of these searches and their recent results. |
