Abstract:
In this talk, I will focus on a compact binary
merger, which is one of the most promising
sources for the next generation gravitational-
wave (GW) laser interferometers such as
advanced LIGO, advanced Virgo, and KAGRA.
The follow-up observation of electromagnetic
(EM) counterparts will play an important role
to confirm the event, to identify the host
galaxy, and to study the nature of the GW
sources. I will discuss mass ejection
mechanisms at and after the merger. Based on
the mass ejection, I will show the expected EM
signals from the merger including:
radioactively-powered macronovae, radio-
flares from macronova remnants, and short
gamma-ray bursts. The detectability of these
EM signals will be also discussed.
