The H.E.S.S. gravitational wave rapid follow-up program

چکیده

Gravitational Wave (GW) events are physical processes that significantly perturbate space-time, e.g. compact binary coalescenses, causing the production of GWs. The detection GWs by a worldwide network advanced interferometers offer unique opportunities for multi-messenger searches and electromagnetic counterpart associations. While carrying extremely useful information, associated emission challenging due to large sky localisation uncertainties provided current GW observatories LIGO Virgo. Here we present methods procedures used within High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) in very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray from extreme events. To do so create several algorithms dedicated schedule follow-up observations creating optimized pointing paterns. We describe using 2-dimensional information correlating galaxy distribution local universe, catalogs, with 3-dimensional evaluate their performances. H.E.S.S. automatic chain, described this paper, is initiate less than 1 minute after alert reception. These developements allowed 6 out 67 non-retracted detected during first three observation runs Virgo reaching VHE $\gamma$-ray coverages up 70% localisation.

Strategies for the Follow-up of Gravitational Wave Transients with the Cherenkov Telescope Array

The observation of the electromagnetic counterpart of gravitational-wave (GW) transient GW170817 demonstrated the potential in extracting astrophysical information from multimessenger discoveries. The forthcoming deployment of the first telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory will coincide with Advanced LIGO/Virgo’s next observing run, O3, enabling the monitoring of gamma-...

J - GEM Follow - Up Observations of The Gravitational Wave Source GW 151226 1

We report the results of optical–infrared follow-up observations of the gravitational wave (GW) event GW151226 detected by the Advanced LIGO in the framework of J-GEM (Japanese collaboration for Gravitational wave ElectroMagnetic follow-up). We performed wide-field optical imaging surveys with Kiso Wide Field Camera (KWFC), Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC), and MOAcam3. The KWFC survey started at 2.26 d...

Localization and Broadband Follow-Up of the Gravitational-Wave Transient Gw150914

A gravitational-wave (GW) transient was identified in data recorded by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors on 2015 September 14. The event, initially designated G184098 and later given the name GW150914, is described in detail elsewhere. By prior arrangement, preliminary estimates of the time, significance, and sky location of the event were shared ...

The hypertension detection and follow-up program: Hypertension detection and follow-up program cooperative group.

Excess mortality in persons of lower socioeconomic status is a finding confirmed in many population studies. Among the nearly 11,000 hypertensive trial participants in the population-based Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program, lower educational level (an indicator of low socioeconomic status) was associated with a 5-year death rate significantly above that found in those with higher edu...
