Daksha: On Alert for High Energy Transients
Varun Bhalerao, Santosh Vadawale, Shriharsh Tendulkar +45
We present Daksha, a proposed high energy transients mission for the study of electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources, and gamma ray bursts. Daksha will comprise…
Science with the Daksha High Energy Transients Mission
Varun Bhalerao, Disha Sawant, Archana Pai +72
We present the science case for the proposed Daksha high energy transients mission. Daksha will comprise of two satellites covering the entire sky from 1~keV to ~MeV. The prima…
GROWTH on S190426c II: GROWTH-India Telescope search for an optical counterpart with a custom image reduction and candidate vetting pipeline
Harsh Kumar, Varun Bhalerao, G. C. Anupama +17
S190426c / GW190426_152155 was the first probable neutron star - black hole merger candidate detected by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration. We undertook a tiled search for optical count…
India's first robotic eye for time domain astrophysics: the GROWTH-India telescope
Harsh Kumar, Varun Bhalerao, G. C. Anupama +35
We present the design and performance of the GROWTH-India telescope, a 0.7 m robotic telescope dedicated to time-domain astronomy. The telescope is equipped with a 4k back-illumina…
