Description
The Gravitational Wave Treasure Map is designed to help coordinate electromagnetic followup of gravitational-wave (GW) events. It allows observers to easily report their planned and executed observations in search of counterparts to GW events, and to query the reports of other observers, in a programatic way. The goal is to enable coordination between observatories in order to minimize unnecessary overlap in these searches, and find the counterpart as quickly and as efficiently as possible. We will discuss the transparent engagement that has taken place during the LVK O4 observing run, and how others can easily get started in integrating the Treasure Map's API into their observing infrastructure.
