The SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts II: New FRB discoveries and their follow-up
S. Bhandari, E. F. Keane, E. D. Barr +47
We report the discovery of four Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in the ongoing SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts (SUPERB) at the Parkes Radio Telescope: FRBs 150610, 15120…
A comparison between SALT/SAAO observations and kilonova models for AT 2017gfo: the first electromagnetic counterpart of a gravitational wave transient - GW170817
David A. H. Buckley, Igor Andreoni, Sudhanshu Barway +13
We report on SALT low resolution optical spectroscopy and optical/IR photometry undertaken with other SAAO telescopes (MASTER-SAAO and IRSF) of the kilonova AT 2017gfo (aka SSS17a)…
The Rapid Reddening and Featureless Optical Spectra of the optical counterpart of GW170817, AT 2017gfo, During the First Four Days
Curtis McCully, Daichi Hiramatsu, D. Andrew Howell +17
We present the spectroscopic evolution of AT 2017gfo, the optical counterpart of the first binary neutron star (BNS) merger detected by LIGO and Virgo, GW170817. While models have…
Follow up of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart by Australian-led observing programs
I. Andreoni, K. Ackley, J. Cooke +122
The discovery of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave signal has generated follow-up observations by over 50 facilities world-wide, ushering in the new era…
Mary, a pipeline to aid discovery of optical transients
Igor Andreoni, Colin Jacobs, Sarah Hegarty +3
The ability to quickly detect transient sources in optical images and trigger multi-wavelength follow up is key for the discovery of fast transients. These include events rare and…
Enabling near real-time remote search for fast transient events with lossy data compression
Dany Vohl, Tyler Pritchard, Igor Andreoni +2
We present a systematic evaluation of JPEG2000 (ISO/IEC 15444) as a transport data format to enable rapid remote searches for fast transient events as part of the Deeper Wider Fast…
