Query: LOOC UP: Locating and observing optical counterparts to gravitational
  wave bursts   Gravitational wave (GW) bursts (short duration signals) are expected to be
associated with highly energetic astrophysical processes. With such high
energies present, it is likely these astrophysical events will have signatures
in the EM spectrum as well as in gravitational radiation. We have initiated a
program, "Locating and Observing Optical Counterparts to Unmodeled Pulses in
Gravitational Waves" (LOOC UP) to promptly search for counterparts to GW burst
candidates. The proposed method analyzes near real-time data from the
LIGO-Virgo network, and then uses a telescope network to seek optical-transient
counterparts to candidate GW signals. We carried out a pilot study using
S5/VSR1 data from the LIGO-Virgo network to develop methods and software tools
for such a search. We will present the method, with an emphasis on the
potential for such a search to be carried out during the next science run of
LIGO and Virgo, expected to begin in 2009.
