From gamma-ray to radio: Multi-wavelength follow-up in the first five minutes

255 views

Published on

In this short talk I cover some research highlights from the 4 Pi Sky project, including recent successes in fast radio follow-up and exploratory work on the potential of radio observations for transient classification. Finally I introduce our work on making the VOEvent standard more accessible to the astronomical community, with the long-term goal of enabling more optimal automated follow-up strategies.

  11. 11. Fast Radio Follow-up Multi-λ classification Automating ‘transient triage’ Transient triage Want to make optimal use of both small and large facilities Perform crude classification and target prioritisation with small facilities first Has to be fast Has to be automated
  12. 12. Fast Radio Follow-up Multi-λ classification Automating ‘transient triage’ Automating the spread of information VOEvent provides a decentralised, machine-readable publication model. e.g. Swinbank 2013, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013MNRAS.428.3114S
  13. 13. Fast Radio Follow-up Multi-λ classification Automating ‘transient triage’ Let’s make this work We can provide the tools and infrastructure Running an open VOEvent server at voevent.4pisky.org NASA-GCN DESAlerts (soon) OGLE / GAIA (possibly) A minimum working example to get you started: github.com/timstaley/fourpiskytools
  14. 14. Fast Radio Follow-up Multi-λ classification Automating ‘transient triage’ Summary There are rapidly evolving radio-band transients, too Radio information could be a powerful aid to classification We can help you get started with VOEvents More info: 4pisky.org
