Description
Launched this year on June 22nd, SVOM is an ambitious space mission devoted to studying the transient sky and its multi-messenger counterparts. Equipped with four instruments covering NIR to MeV energy ranges, SVOM offers the unique capabilities of an autonomous triggering system of high-energy transient events combined with rapid follow-up capabilities directly inspired by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (NASA). In addition, SVOM provides multiple innovations such as a dedicated ground-based follow-up system idriven by the highly demanding telescope resources needed for studying multi-messenger transients. Several Target of Opportunity programs have been envisioned to provide the MMA community with a powerful discovery machine in line with the scientific challenges of the next decade. Finally, SVOM will be also operated as an open Observatory to tackle even broader scientific subjects beyond the transient sky domain.
In this talk, I will introduce the basic concepts of the SVOM mission, its scientific programs, and how the SVOM Collaboration will be interacting with the new generation of transient detection machines such as Vera Rubin LSST. I will review the first scientific results obtained so far during the commissioning operations and the schedule of the forthcoming scientific operations to begin in January 2025.
