Searching for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries in GOTO and ATLAS data
G. Ramsay, K. Ackley, S. Belkin +46
Symbiotic Binaries contain a white dwarf accreting material from a red giant star through a wind. We present the results of a search for outbursts from Symbiotic Binaries using pho…
Magnetar counterparts, kinematics and birth sites with HST and JWST
A. A. Chrimes, J. D. Lyman, A. J. Levan +7
Magnetars are highly magnetised, isolated neutron stars with uncertain formation channels. They comprise a potentially significant fraction of the young neutron star population in…
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) data pipeline and workflow for transient discovery
J. D. Lyman, D. O'Neill, T. Killestein +45
Wide-field and high-cadence sky surveys are the first step in the chain of discovery and characterisation of astrophysical transients such as supernovae, kilonovae, and tidal disru…
GOTO identification and broadband modelling of the counterpart to the SVOM GRB 250818B
S. Belkin, G. P. Lamb, K. Ackley +61
Rapid localisation and follow-up of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) increasingly rely on low-latency triggers from new missions coupled to wide-field robotic optical facilities. We present…
