Planning ESO observations of future gravitational wave events
Planning ESO observations of future gravitational wave events
ESO Garching, 31 January and 1 February 2018
The combination of gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations of GW170817/GRB 170817A have triggered new and interesting science projects. Understanding the nature and results of black hole and neutron star mergers has become a hot topic in astrophysics. The timeline for observations of gravitational wave events spans from seconds to days and coordinated observations of any electromagnetic radiation is critical to obtain relevant information.
The great success of the GW170817/GRB 170817A observations by more than 50 observatories has highlighted the importance of coordination between different instruments and facilities. The two-day workshop will focus on what has been learned from ESO observations of GW170817/GRB 170817A and discuss strategies for coordination of the observations of future events.
