Optimal Follow-Up of Gravitational-Wave Events with the UltraViolet EXplorer (UVEX)
Leo P. Singer, Alexander W. Criswell, Sydney C. Leggio +10
The UltraViolet EXplorer (UVEX) is a wide-field ultraviolet space telescope selected as a NASA Medium-Class Explorer (MIDEX) mission for launch in 2030. UVEX will undertake deep, c…
LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA neutron star merger candidate S250206dm: Zwicky Transient Facility observations
Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Mattia Bulla +49
We present the searches conducted with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in response to S250206dm, a bona fide event with a false alarm rate of one in 25 years, detected by the I…
Electromagnetic Follow-up to Gravitational Wave Events with the UltraViolet EXplorer (UVEX)
Alexander W. Criswell, Sydney C. Leggio, Michael W. Coughlin +9
The Ultraviolet Explorer (UVEX) is expected to fly in 2030 and will have the opportunity -- and the rapid near/far ultraviolet (UV) capabilities -- to glean unprecedented insight i…
Swiftly chasing gravitational waves across the sky in real-time
Aaron Tohuvavohu, Jamie A. Kennea, Christopher J. Roberts +8
We introduce a new capability of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, dubbed `continuous commanding,' achieving 10 seconds latency response time on-orbit to unscheduled Target of Op…
