Abstract
The Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and Advanced Virgo observatories recently discovered gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral. A short gamma-ray burst that followed the merger of this binary was also recorded by Fermi gamma-ray burst monitor and International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, indicating particle acceleration by the source. The precise location of the event was determined by optical detections of emission following the merger. We searched for high-energy neutrinos from the merger in the TeV - 100 PeV energy range using Baikal Gigaton Volume Detector. No neutrinos directionally coincident with the source were detected within  500 s around the merger time,
as well as during a 14-day period after the gravitational wave detection.
We derived 90 % confidence level upper limits on the neutrino fluence
from GW170817 during a 500 s window centered on the gravitational wave trigger
time, and a 14-day window following the gravitational wave signal under the assumption
of an E-2 neutrino energy spectrum.
