This project aims to use three Australian radio telescopes to search for and monitor radio waves from future gravitational wave events. The detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation from a neutron star merger was a scientific breakthrough, with important implications for physics and astronomy. The observations from this project will provide key information to reveal what causes some of the most energetic events in the Universe, their environment and how they evolve. The outcomes of this project include increased international collaboration with this global effort, and new techniques for automatic data processing and analysis, as well as engaging future students as we build Australian expertise in a new area of research.

该项目旨在利用三台澳大利亚射电望远镜搜寻和监测未来引力波事件产生的无线电波，探测到中子星星合并产生的引力波和电磁辐射是一项科学突破，对物理学和天文学具有重要意义。该项目的观测结果将提供关键信息，以揭示宇宙中一些最具能量的事件的原因，它们的环境以及它们如何演变。该项目的成果包括增加与这一全球努力的国际合作，自动数据处理和分析的新技术，以及在我们建立澳大利亚在新的研究领域的专业知识时吸引未来的学生。
