abstract = {On 2017 August 17 a binary neutron star coalescence
candidate (later designated GW170817) with merger time
12:41:04 UTC was observed through gravitational waves by the
Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. The Fermi
Gamma-ray Burst Monitor independently detected a gamma-ray
burst (GRB 170817A) with a time delay of $\sim$1.7 s with
respect to the merger time. From the gravitational-wave
signal, the source was initially localized to a sky region
of 31 deg$^2$ at a luminosity distance of $40^{+8}_{-8}$ Mpc
and with component masses consistent with neutron stars. The
component masses were later measured to be in the range 0.86
to 2.26 Msun. An extensive observing campaign was launched
across the electromagnetic spectrum leading to the discovery
of a bright optical transient (SSS17a, now with the IAU
identification of AT 2017gfo) in NGC 4993 (at $\sim$40 Mpc)
less than 11 hours after the merger by the One-Meter, Two
Hemisphere (1M2H) team using the 1 m Swope Telescope. The
optical transient was independently detected by multiple
teams within an hour. Subsequent observations targeted the
object and its environment. Early ultraviolet observations
revealed a blue transient that faded within 48 hours.
Optical and infrared observations showed a redward evolution
over $\sim$10 days. Following early non-detections, X-ray
and radio emission were discovered at the transient's
position $\sim$9 and $\sim$16 days, respectively, after the
merger. Both the X-ray and radio emission likely arise from
a physical process that is distinct from the one that
generates the UV/optical/near-infrared emission. No
ultra-high-energy gamma-rays and no neutrino candidates
consistent with the source were found in follow-up searches.
