{"product_id":"hotwiring-the-transient-universe","title":"Hotwiring the Transient Universe","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrbiting satellites \u0026amp; giant astronomical surveys are monitoring much of the sky regularly, detecting vast numbers of variable astronomical objects, some with exciting and energetic astrophysics such as blazar eruptions, cataclysmic variables \u0026amp; supernovae; some much closer, perhaps discovery of a potentially Earth-impacting asteroid. A VOEvent is a message about an astronomical event: a change in brightness or position in the sky. The message can be sent to other observers for follow-up observations, or it can be added to other data about the event to aid understanding. Many existing \u0026amp; future surveys are using VOEvent for rapid event notiÂfications, including CRTS, GCN (Fermi and SWIFT), LIGO, LOFAR, LSST, MOA, OGLE, PTF \u0026amp; SVOM. This book explores transient surveys \u0026amp; classification, what VOEvents mean \u0026amp; how to build them, the rich structure of the VOEvent 2.0 standard, working with the Virtual Observatory infrastructure, \u0026amp; ideas on an interoperable transport network. http:\/\/hotwireduniverse.org\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44215768842401,"sku":"bcramer1517","price":25.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/18n5z6m9-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1713647474","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/hotwiring-the-transient-universe","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
