In this talk, that I will give on behalf of the LVK Collaboration, I will present the latest results from the O4a observing run, placing a special emphasis on the new events in GWTC-4, the multi-messenger and cosmological results obtained.
In this talk, I will discuss the current state of transient studies in the radio domain. With SKA precursor and pathfinder instruments, we are collecting unprecedentedly rich and dense datasets, opening new frontiers in transient astronomy. However, this rapid data influx presents key challenges, particularly in storage and accessibility of light curve data. I will highlight these challenges...
I will present the GOTO project: an array of wife-field survey telescopes principally aimed at following gravitational wave (GW) alerts and performing rapid searches of the localisation areas. The array is situated over two sites, covering Northern and Southern skies, performing an all-sky optical survey, alongside multi-messenger follow up. In addition to GW alerts, GOTO regular reacts to...
