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.
