: the GOTO project for real-time citizen science in time-domain astrophysics
T. L. Killestein, L. Kelsey, E. Wickens +51
Time-domain astrophysics continues to grow rapidly, with the inception of new surveys drastically increasing data volumes. Democratised, distributed approaches to training sets for…
The Science Case for LIGO-India
M. Saleem, Javed Rana, V. Gayathri +12
The global network of gravitational-wave detectors has completed three observing runs with detections of merging compact binaries. A third LIGO detector, with comparable…
The Panchromatic Afterglow of GW170817: The full uniform dataset, modeling, comparison with previous results and implications
Sphesihle Makhathini, Kunal P. Mooley, Murray Brightman +35
We present the full panchromatic afterglow light curve data of GW170817, including new radio data as well as archival optical and X-ray data, between 0.5 and 940 days post-merger.…
All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the second Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1186
We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gra…
Galaxy-Targeting Approach Optimized for Finding the Radio Afterglows of Gravitational Wave Sources
Javed Rana, Kunal P. Mooley
Kilonovae and radio afterglows of neutron star merger events have been identified as the two most promising counterparts, of these gravitational wave sources, that can provide arcs…
All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO O2 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1130
We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can be produced by fast-spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis,…
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…
Optimizing searches for electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave triggers
Michael W. Coughlin, Duo Tao, Man Leong Chan +9
With the detection of a binary neutron star system and its corresponding electromagnetic counterparts, a new window of transient astronomy has opened. Due to the size of the error…
A Radio Counterpart to a Neutron Star Merger
G. Hallinan, A. Corsi, K. P. Mooley +30
Gravitational waves have been detected from a binary neutron star merger event, GW170817. The detection of electromagnetic radiation from the same source has shown that the merger…
iPTF Search for an Optical Counterpart to Gravitational Wave Trigger GW150914
M. M. Kasliwal, S. B. Cenko, L. P. Singer +28
The intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) autonomously responded to and promptly tiled the error region of the first gravitational wave event GW150914 to search for an opti…
An optimal method for scheduling observations of large sky error regions for finding optical counterparts to transients
Javed Rana, Akshat Singhal, Bhooshan Gadre +2
The discovery and subsequent study of optical counterparts to transient sources is crucial for their complete astrophysical understanding. Various gamma ray burst (GRB) detectors,…
