These systems are an ideal target for multi-messenger astronomy due the combina tion of Gravitational Wave (GW) emission and a powerful jet formed upon co alescence\, demonstrated by the observation of a BNS via GW 170817 and GRB 170817A\, then followed up by a range of lower energy electromagnetic obs ervations. Where these jets accelerate hadrons above TeV energies there sh ould also be an observable astrophysical neutrino flux\, presenting an opp ortunity for the first GW-neutrino correlations. I will discuss work to im prove the efficiency of software pipeline searching for modelled GW signal s from BNS mergers. In addition we apply methods to infer astrophysical pr obabilities for a catalog of triggered event times and for individual pote ntial GW candidates. These probabilities could be crucial in focusing our energy to the most interest candidates for follow up and evaluating the pr esence of a population of BNS signals.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/CENTRA/13/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
