We propose a technique to select the galaxies that are most likely to host the event given some assumptions of whether the particular event is associated with recent star formation, low-metallicity stars or simply proportional to the total stellar mass in the galaxy. We combine data from the 2-MASS Photometric Redshift Galaxy Catalogue with results from galaxy formation simulations to develop observing strategies that potentially reduce the area of sky to search by up to a factor of 2 relative to an unweighted search of galaxies, and a factor of 20 to a search over the entire LIGO localization region."}],"intvolume":"       466","date_updated":"2024-04-08T07:05:23Z","quality_controlled":"1","day":"17","extern":"1","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.1612.04412"}],"publisher":"Oxford University Press","scopus_import":"1","oa":1,"publication_status":"published","month":"12","issue":"2","title":"Using galaxy formation simulations to optimize LIGO follow-up observations","_id":"15242","doi":"10.1093/mnras/stw3292","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1365-2966"],"issn":["0035-8711"]},"citation":{"short":"E.
