GW170817 involved the merger of two neutron stars, and was detected from gamma-rays to the radio, proving the need for a multi-wavelength approach.This project provides an opportunity to be at the heart of the characterization of electromagnetic counterparts to GW sources by undertaking coordinated searches for electromagnetic counterparts using many ground and space observatories observing across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Additionally will be working with colleagues in order to construct detailed theoretical models for transient sources, as well as analysis of GOTO and the analysis of other facility data, discover new classes of object and participate in the development of new ground and space facilities.

GW170817涉及两颗中子星的合并，从伽马射线到无线电都被探测到，证明了多波长方法的必要性。该项目提供了一个机会，通过使用许多地面和空间天文台在整个电磁波谱上进行电磁对应物的协调搜索，从而成为GW源电磁对应物特征的核心。此外，我还将与同事们合作，为瞬态源建立详细的理论模型，分析地外卫星和其他设施数据，发现新类别的物体，并参与开发新的地面和空间设施。
