Searching for Gravitational-wave Counterparts Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite

In 2017, the LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, in conjunction with electromagnetic (EM) astronomers, observed the first GW multimessenger astrophysical event, the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817.
