The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
Martin J. Dyer, Danny Steeghs, Duncan K. Galloway +12
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a wide-field telescope project focused on detecting optical counterparts to gravitational-wave sources. GOTO uses arrays…
Processing GOTO data with the Rubin Observatory LSST Science Pipelines I : Production of coadded frames
J. R. Mullaney, L. Makrygianni, V. Dhillon +44
The past few decades have seen the burgeoning of wide field, high cadence surveys, the most formidable of which will be the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to be conducted b…
Power-law energy distributions of small-scale impulsive events on the active Sun: Results from IRIS
Nived Vilangot Nhalil, Chris J. Nelson, Mihalis Mathioudakis +2
Numerous studies have analysed inferred power-law distributions between frequency and energy of impulsive events in the outer solar atmosphere in an attempt to understand the predo…
Machine Learning for Transient Recognition in Difference Imaging With Minimum Sampling Effort
Yik-Lun Mong, Kendall Ackley, Duncan Galloway +45
The amount of observational data produced by time-domain astronomy is exponentially in-creasing. Human inspection alone is not an effective way to identify genuine transients fromt…
TESS observations of southern ultra fast rotating low mass stars
G. Ramsay, J. G. Doyle, L. Doyle
In our previous study of low mass stars using TESS, we found a handful which show a periodic modulation on a period <1 d but also displayed no flaring activity. Here we present the…
Short-cadence K2 observations of an accretion-state transition in the polar Tau 4
Colin Littlefield, Peter Garnavich, Paula Szkody +5
The Kepler spacecraft observed a total of only four AM Herculis cataclysmic variable stars during its lifetime. We analyze the short-cadence K2 light curve of one of those systems,…
Searching for Electromagnetic Counterparts to Gravitational-wave Merger Events with the Prototype Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO-4)
B. P. Gompertz, R. Cutter, D. Steeghs +49
We report the results of optical follow-up observations of 29 gravitational-wave triggers during the first half of the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration (LVC) O3 run with the Gravitational-…
