The strongest gravitational waves in the universe are attributed to the mergers of neutron star or black hole binaries. Decades of theoretical and experimental efforts are about to culminate perhaps within this decade in the first direct detection of gravitational waves. These resulting measurements will offer us an unprecedented view of strong-field astrophysics in action. This talk discusses our ongoing effort aimed at preparing astrophysical follow-up studies of the gravitational-wave source. This effort is critical in improving our understanding of the source's physical properties. In particular, as a first and essential step, I will outline the challenges that lie ahead and present our solution in how to pinpoint the location of compact binary mergers using networks of gravitational-wave interferometers and electromagnetic synoptic wide-field surveys.
