ABSTRACT GRANDMA (Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to the Multi-messenger Addicts) is a network of 25 telescopes different sizes, including both photometric and spectroscopic facilities. The aims coordinate follow-up observations gravitational-wave (GW) candidate alerts, especially those with large localization uncertainties, reduce delay between initial detection optical confirmation. In this paper, we detail GRANDMA’s observational performance during LIGO/Advanced Virgo Observing Run...
We present the Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to Multi-messenger Addicts (GRANDMA). The network consists of 21 telescopes with both photometric and spectroscopic facilities. They are connected together thanks a dedicated infrastructure. aims at coordinating observations large sky position estimates transient events enhance their follow-up reduce delay between initial detection optical confirmation. GRANDMA program mainly focuses on gravitational-wave alerts find characterise...
GRANDMA is an international project that coordinates telescope observations of transient sources with large localization uncertainties. Such include gravitational wave events, gamma-ray bursts and neutrino events. currently 25 telescopes (70 scientists), the aim optimizing imaging strategy to maximize probability identifying optical counterpart a source. This paper describes motivation for project, organizational structure, methodology initial results.
We present a campaign designed to train the GRANDMA network and its infrastructure follow up on transient alerts detect their early afterglows. In preparation for O4 II campaign, we focused GRB as they are expected be an electromagnetic counterpart of gravitational-wave events. Our goal was improve our response start prompt observations soon possible better prepare fourth observational run LIGO-Virgo-Kagra (which started at end May 2023), future missions such SM. To receive, manage send out...
GRANDMA is a world-wide collaboration with the primary scientific goal of studying gravitational-wave sources, discovering their electromagnetic counterparts and characterizing emission. involves astronomers, astrophysicists, physicists, theorists. now truly global network telescopes, (so far) 30 telescopes in both hemispheres. It incorporates citizen science programme (Kilonova-Catcher) which constitutes an opportunity to spread interest time-domain astronomy. The telescope heterogeneous...
