The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:
At the time of GRB 231115A, the LIGO Hanford Observatory (H1) was observing with a binary neutron star (BNS) merger average sensitive range of ~150 Mpc. The low-latency pipelines for compact binary mergers [1-4] were operational at the time of the GRB. No gravitational-wave candidates were found in a window of [-5, +1] seconds around GRB 231115A [5]. We find that H1 was sensitive to gravitational waves from both Fermi (GCN 35035) and INTEGRAL (GCN 35036, 35037) sky positions. An offline analysis will be performed to search for extremely weak gravitational-wave signals and determine exclusion limits.
