论文摘要
重力波光瞬态观察者（GOTO）是一个宽阔的望远镜项目，旨在检测到引力波源的光学对应物。 GoTo在共享机器人安装座上使用40厘米单元望远镜（UTS）的阵列，该阵列以具有成本效益的方式提供大量的视野。完整的goto安装座使用8个单位望远镜提供40平方度的整体视野，并且可以在三分钟内达到20级的深度。 GoTo-4原型于2017年在La Palma上播出了4个单位望远镜，并于2020年升级为完整的8型望远镜阵列。2021年初，第二个8-UT安装座将在La Palma上安装，另一个将在澳大利亚的Southern Node System又安装了另一个带有两个安装座的Goto Node。完成后，每个安装座将被联网以形成一个机器人双半球观测站，该观测站每隔几个晚上都会调查整个可见天空，并可以快速对瞬时来源进行随访。
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a wide-field telescope project focused on detecting optical counterparts to gravitational-wave sources. GOTO uses arrays of 40 cm unit telescopes (UTs) on a shared robotic mount, which scales to provide large fields of view in a cost-effective manner. A complete GOTO mount uses 8 unit telescopes to give an overall field of view of 40 square degrees, and can reach a depth of 20th magnitude in three minutes. The GOTO-4 prototype was inaugurated with 4 unit telescopes in 2017 on La Palma, and was upgraded to a full 8-telescope array in 2020. A second 8-UT mount will be installed on La Palma in early 2021, and another GOTO node with two more mount systems is planned for a southern site in Australia. When complete, each mount will be networked to form a robotic, dual-hemisphere observatory, which will survey the entire visible sky every few nights and enable rapid follow-up detections of transient sources.
