Scientific paper

Gamma-ray, X-ray, optical and neutrino observations of cataclysmic cosmic events with plausible gravitational wave emission can be used in combination with searches for gravitational waves. Information on the progenitor, such as trigger time, direction and expected frequency range, shall enhance our ability to identify gravitational wave signatures with amplitude close to the noise floor of the detector. Even in the absence of detection, the association of the astrophysical trigger with a particular source distance allows to interpret upper limits on the observed flux of gravitational waves in terms of the energy emitted in the form of gravitational waves. After a brief summary of astrophysically triggered gravitational wave searches, I will discuss the results related to GRB 070201, a short hard gamma-ray burst with possible association with the Andromeda galaxy (M31). I will close by giving an outlook on the future.
