Proposal
Proposal: TRANS02:Gamma-ray burst observations
PI: Alice Donini (alice.donini@inaf.it)
Source:
Coordinates differ case to case. They will be computed and given by the Transient Handler (TH).
When an observable alert is received, an alert notification will be visible in TCU. If the notification is accepted, a structure configuration with the correct coordinates will be created in the TCU database and can be used to schedule observations.
For any question regarding observation, ask the Burst Advocate (BA) on duty (names available here), or write on the slack channel #lst1-alert-followup.
Observational settings/limits
The observational limits are part of the TH algorithm that defines if the source is observable or not. If the source fulfil these parameters it will be considered observable:
- Max Zenith: 70deg (preferred <60deg)
- Wobbles: standard
- Night Sky: dark/twilight
Joint observation with MAGIC is preferable, when possible.
Extensions
If the Real Time Analysis shows more than 3sigma, extend for 3h and alert the BA on duty.
Automatic procedure
When an alert is tagged as observable within 1h from when is received, TCU will automatically schedule the observation and repoint/configure the telescope at the scheduled time.
