This project aims to reveal the radio emission properties of particular classes of gravitational wave events through the utilisation and further development of rapid-response observing systems on Australian radio telescopes. The project will use Australian radio telescopes to rapidly and automatically obtain observations of short-duration gamma-ray bursts, which are thought to be a subclass of gravitational wave events. It is anticipated such observations will provide vital insight into the early-time radio signatures of gravitational wave events and that rapid-response experiments will contribute invaluable knowledge towards optimising transient science conducted with the Square Kilometre Array.

该项目旨在通过利用和进一步发展澳大利亚射电望远镜上的快速反应观测系统，揭示特定类别引力波事件的无线电发射特性。该项目将利用澳大利亚射电望远镜快速自动获得短持续时间伽马射线爆发的观测结果，这被认为是引力波事件的一个子类。预计这些观测将为引力波事件的早期无线电特征提供重要的见解，快速响应实验将为优化平方公里阵列进行的瞬态科学提供宝贵的知识。
