TraceT

TraceT is the web-app for the Transient RApid-response using Coordinated Event Triggering (TRACE-T) project which is led by Gemma Anderson. The web-app evolved out of two previous automated transient triggering projects, one on the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), and one on the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The MWA triggering project is described in Hancock et al, 2019 and Anderson et al, 2021.

The triggering software monitors event streams, searching for alerts from detection instruments such as Swift, Fermi, and LIGO/Virgo/Kagra, and then triggering followup observations on the MWA or ATCA. The events are received as VOevents from a VOevent broker network or via a Kafka stream (GCN).

This software has been updated and adapted from the original thanks to the work of Astronomy Data And Computing Services (ADACS).
