Descrizione

With the observation of the first electromagnetic counterpart of Gravitational Wave (GW) transient GW170817, the potential of multi-messenger astronomy has been clearly demonstrated. In its full configuration, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory will be capable of rapidly covering the regions localized by future GW observations with sufficient sensitivity at very high-energy gamma rays. In view of the forthcoming deployment of its first telescopes, we identify some general strategies for GW follow-up that will improve the CTA contribution to multi-messenger discoveries.
