Receipt: # 473-1 ----- Attempting Submission 2 (Fri Apr 08 23:10:01 GMT 2016) ----- This error seems to tell me that I need to run the visit planner. But this is a phase I proposal and the visit planner shouldn't matter. Please confirm if this is a problem. Dear Alison, Please find attached a phaseII to go with our recent submission. It contains four visits (two sets of two orbits). The first of these should be taken asap, with the second to follow 2-4 days later. In terms of absolute windows I have left them with some overlap because I don't know the absolute timescales, but G1 and G2 should precede G3 and G4. Ideally all should be at the same orient. As should the visits A1 and A2 in GO 14771 (which has also just been submitted). Thanks for the work, and sorry for the Friday afternoon rush. Cheers, Andrew 762153548 ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Wed Jul 20 13:34:50 GMT 2016) ----- ----- Attempting Submission 2 (Fri Aug 18 14:54:42 GMT 2017) ----- Rapid ToO observations of the first gravitational wave counterparts We propose a series of disruptive ToO observations of the first electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave sources. These observations will track the likely rapidly fading counterparts to levels a factor 10 fainter than possible from the ground. They will determine the spectral and temporal evolution, evaluate their power sources, ascertain their contribution to the production of heavy elements in the Universe, pinpoint them on their host galaxies and provide information to hone further searches. In concert with already award late time (>3 week turnaround) observations these observations will provide a unique and powerful view of a newly discovered, but long awaited class of astronomical object. This is a proposal to obtain HST observations of the first electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave sources. It is a disruptive ToO programme, with the first observations taking place after a few days (3-6 after trigger) and subsequent observations at ~1 week intervals. Late time observations will be obtained with a separate programme. Our programme envisages different strategies depending on the nature of the counterpart, we outline each of these below: 1) Optical/IR counterpart discovery In this case we will likely trigger IR spectroscopy to search for kilonova emission. This will be through visits G1 and G2 which call for G102 and G141 grism spectroscopy as well as short direct images in F125W and F160W. Our later observations will be imaging in F125W and F160W (visits I1 and I2) to track the lightcurve. If the source is very faint, then we may omit the grism spectroscopy and use the X visits in F140W instead. 2) X-ray only counterpart discovery Here we assume that deep optical observations at the counterpart location have failed to identify a optical counterpart. In this case we will conduct a deep imaging search with HST. This will use visits X1-X4 (1 and 2 orbit visits in F140W) in order to conduct a deep search for any kilonova emission.
