The era of multi-messenger is upon us, thanks to regular gravitational wave detections, as well as exciting developments in high-energy sources, including neutrinos. The project will involve exploiting the Gravitational wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) facility, which is a dedicated survey facility for electromagnetic counterparts. The facility is expected to significantly scale in capability during the studentship. The work will initially focus on contributing to key improvements on the data analysis side to ensure that data can be mined in near real time. The student will also be involved in follow-up programs that classify and characterise sources using other facilities. During LVC science runs, the work will focus on GW searches, with a particular focus on neutron star events, while secondary science and other messengers will come into play during the gaps in between those runs.

多信使的时代即将到来，这要归功于定期的引力波探测，以及包括中微子在内的高能源的令人兴奋的发展。该项目将涉及利用引力波光学瞬态观测器设施，这是一个专门用于电磁对应方的测量设施。该设施预计将显着规模的能力在学生期间。这项工作最初将侧重于促进数据分析方面的关键改进，以确保能够在接近真实的时间内挖掘数据。学生还将参与后续计划，使用其他设施分类和识别源。在LVC科学运行期间，工作将集中在GW搜索上，特别关注中子星星事件，而二级科学和其他信使将在这些运行之间的间隙发挥作用。
