Quasi-automatic software support for Gaia ground based optical tracking
S. Bouquillon, C. Barache, T. Carlucci +6
The ESA Gaia satellite mission will create a catalog of 1 billion stars with unprecedented astrometric precision. To achieve its aim in terms of astrometric precision, a ground bas…
GBOT: ground based optical tracking of the Gaia satellite
Martin Altmann, Sebastien Bouquillon, Francois Taris +6
Gaia, the 1 billion star, high precision, astrometric satellite will revolutionise our understanding in many areas of astronomy ranging from bodies in our Solar System to the forma…
Optimising the observation of optical kilonovae with medium size telescopes
A. E. Camisasca, I. A. Steele, M. Bulla +2
We consider the optimisation of the observing strategy (cadence, exposure time and filter choice) using medium size (2-m class) optical telescopes in the follow-up of kilonovae loc…
GRB 210619B: first gamma-ray burst detection by the novel polarimeter MOPTOP
M. Shrestha, I. A. Steele, S. Kobayashi +4
GRB~210619B was a bright long gamma-ray burst (GRB) which was optically followed up by the novel polarimeter MOPTOP on the Liverpool Telescope (LT). This was the first GRB detectio…
A flash of polarized optical light points to an aspherical "cow"
J. R. Maund, P. A. Hoeflich, I. A. Steele +8
The astronomical transient AT2018cow is the closest example of the new class of luminous, fast blue optical transients (FBOTs). Liverpool Telescope RINGO3 observations of AT2018cow…
The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation
Shoko Jin, Scott C. Trager, Gavin B. Dalton +212
WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-degree…
