A data science platform to enable time-domain astronomy
Michael W. Coughlin, Joshua S. Bloom, Guy Nir +50
SkyPortal is an open-source software package designed to efficiently discover interesting transients, manage follow-up, perform characterization, and visualize the results. By enab…
Foraging with MUSHROOMS: A Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Scheduler for Multimessenger Target of Opportunity Searches with the Zwicky Transient Facility
B. Parazin, Michael W. Coughlin, Leo P. Singer +2
Electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational wave detections is very resource intensive, taking up hours of limited observation time on dozens of telescopes. Creating more efficient…
Inferring kilonova population properties with a hierarchical Bayesian framework I : Non-detection methodology and single-event analyses
Siddharth R. Mohite, Priyadarshini Rajkumar, Shreya Anand +17
We present : a hierarchical Bayesian framework to infer the intrinsic luminosity parameters of kilonovae (KNe) associated with gravitational-wave (GW) events, based…
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Optimizing Multi-Telescope Observations of Gravitational-Wave Counterparts
Michael W. Coughlin, Sarah Antier, David Corre +9
The ever-increasing sensitivity of the network of gravitational-wave detectors has resulted in the accelerated rate of detections from compact binary coalescence systems in the thi…
The US Program in Ground-Based Gravitational Wave Science: Contribution from the LIGO Laboratory
David Reitze, Rich Abbott, Carl Adams +181
Recent gravitational-wave observations from the LIGO and Virgo observatories have brought a sense of great excitement to scientists and citizens the world over. Since September 201…
Optimal Optical Search Strategy for Finding Transient in Large Sky Error Region Under Realistic Constraints
Javed Rana, Shreya Anand, Sukanta Bose
In order to identify the rapidly-fading, optical transient counterparts of gravitational wave (GW) sources, an efficient follow-up strategy is required. Since most ground-based opt…
A strategy for LSST to unveil a population of kilonovae without gravitational-wave triggers
Igor Andreoni, Shreya Anand, Federica B. Bianco +10
We present a cadence optimization strategy to unveil a large population of kilonovae using optical imaging alone. These transients are generated during binary neutron star and pote…
