Notifications
For most streams, the notifications are sent as soon as the detection of the new transient is announced.
In order to reduce the amount of information to a reasonable level, optical transients are only announced
when their type is classified and announced via the Transient Name Server (TNS). This is often only done
after additional (spectroscopic) observations, thus introducing a delay between the source detection and the
Astro-COLIBRI notification that can range from hours to days (sometimes even weeks/months).
- GRBs : Fermi and Swift alerts (incl. names and identification)
- Neutrino : IceCube, AMON (e.g. Nu-EM coincidences), and SuperK supernova alerts
- GW : Advanced Ligo / Advanced VIRGO / KAGRA alerts (as soon as O4 starts)
- Burst : INTEGRAL and HAWC detections, FRBs, other un-categorized alerts, ...
- SNe : optical transients characterized as supernova
- OTs : optical transients not classified as SNe (e.g. novae, CVs, TDE, AGN, etc.)
- Bright OTs : optical transients (SNe and OT) with magnitudes < 18 (i.e. a subset of the two categories
above)
- FLaapLUC: GeV flares from AGNs observed by Fermi-LAT and detected by the FLaapLUC pipeline
- Astro-COLIBRI announcements : News, updates and down times
