Description

<p>On August 17, 2017, gravitational-wave telescopes detected gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger. In this article, we outline the results of the gravitational-wave observation and their follow-up observations of electromagnetic counterparts, and then, we describe our interpretation for this event based on our numerical-relativity results.</p>
