Description

SVOM Burst Advocates Workshop

The workshop is organized from May 15 to May 22 at Chamonix Mont-Blanc (Ecole des Houches: https://www.houches-school-physics.com/the-school/). The goal of the workshop is to test the tools that will be available to the Burst Advocates, the future on-call scientists who will be responsible for the scientific organization of the multi-wavelength observations of the gamma-ray bursts detected by SVOM. 

The workshop will begin with a general presentation of the SVOM data flow sequence and the achitecture of the science centers.

After this presentation, 3 GRB follow-up specialists will clarify the role of the “Burst Advocates" in 3 domains: 

  1. The simulation of a GRB follow-up based on the Swift experience (BAT, XRT, UVOT). 
  2. The organization of the short-term follow-up with robotic telescopes on the ground. 
  3. The organization of long-term follow-up with large telescopes. 

Then three half days hands-on sessions will be organized to train the SVOM BAs with the future tools that will be integrated into the scientific centers. A coding session will be organised for the developers to take into account the feedback from the hands-on.
