: 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…
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…
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…
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,…
