论文摘要

我们介绍了重力波宝藏图,该工具是协调,可视化和评估引力波(GW)事件的电磁随访的工具。由于典型的GW定位区域具有数百至数千个正方形和数十个积极的随访组,因此追求电磁(EM)对应是一项具有挑战性的努力,但是对于早期发现任何对应物的科学回报还是很明显的。使用此工具,我们提供了一个网站和API界面,该网站和API接口使用户可以轻松查看其他小组的搜索位置,并更好地告知他们自己的后续搜索工作。强大的宝藏地图用户社区将提高EM对应物搜索的总体效率,并将在多门徒天文学的未来中发挥基本作用。

We present the Gravitational Wave Treasure Map, a tool to coordinate, visualize, and assess the electromagnetic follow-up of gravitational wave (GW) events. With typical GW localization regions of hundreds to thousands of square degrees and dozens of active follow-up groups, the pursuit of electromagnetic (EM) counterparts is a challenging endeavor, but the scientific payoff for early discovery of any counterpart is clear. With this tool, we provide a website and API interface that allows users to easily see where other groups have searched and better inform their own follow-up search efforts. A strong community of Treasure Map users will increase the overall efficiency of EM counterpart searches and will play a fundamental role in the future of multi-messenger astronomy.
