Description
BHTOM (Black Hole Target Observation Manager) is a web-based platform for coordinating time-domain astronomical observations across a global network of telescopes. It enables users to define targets, collect and process photometric data automatically, and combine new observations with archival datasets. The system standardizes data using PSF photometry and Gaia-based filters. Designed for researchers, telescope operators, educators, and amateurs, BHTOM supports collaborative, scalable, and data-driven astronomy, particularly suited for the era of large survey facilities like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
In this talk, I will present the key features of BHTOM and demonstrate how it enables LSST synergies by integrating follow up with archival data (the platform combines LSST and ZTF observations in a single interface for example), maximizing scientific return for time-domain studies.
