Multi-messenger astronomy: the alert observations of gamma-ray bursts afterglows, supernovae and search for optical counterparts to neutrino events and gravitational waves V.V. Vlasyuk*, V.V. Sokolov

Abstract

      On the strategy for the all SAO telescopes for the study and monitoring of afterglows of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), optical identification of sources of gravitational waves and neutrino signals from supernovae, fast radio bursts (FRB). We plan to carry out (to continue) follow-up observations of localization areas (identification) of newly-discovered gamma-ray bursts, neutrino and gravitational signals, and supernovae (in the mode of Target of Opportunity Observation). The telescopes: BTA, Zeiss-2000 (TB INASAN), Zeiss-100 (SAO RAS) in the modes of photometry, spectroscopy, fast photometry and polarimetry. Alerts from missions Swift, Fermi, INTEGRAL, Lomonosov and others. The aim of the search for optical/electromagnetic components with SCORPIO and MANIA at BTA is the sources (related to GRBs) of neutrino and gravitational waves (GW events) detected by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) and Virgo.
