Oral Talk Senior Lectures

Speaker

Dr Philip Andrew Evans

Description

In the era of multi-messenger astronomy it is vital to be able to carry out prompt electromagnetic observations of non-photon triggers, to search for the counterpart to the event. Due to its efficient and flexible planning, rapid slewing and short response time, the Swift satellite is an excellent facility to use to achieve this. In this talk I will show the results of Swift follow-up of two gravitational wave triggers, and discuss the ongoing programme to follow-up neutrino triggers. I will also look at future opportunities and developments.
