Dear all,
As you may already know, LIGO/Virgo came back online on Monday, 1st April 2019. SALT has set aside some time for proposals covering gravitational
wave events, which can be submitted by any member of the SALT
partnership.
How to submit a gravitational wave event proposal
If you are a member of the SALT partnership, you need to use version 5.3 or higher of the PIPT
Contrary to Director’s Discretionary Time proposals, you do not have to get prior approval before submitting the proposal.
If you do not belong to a SALT partner, please contact
salthelp@salt.ac.za and we’ll gladly put you in touch with our
gravitational wave event group members.
Receiving notifications and commenting on proposals
A notification is sent out to a dedicated mailing list whenever a
gravitational wave event proposal is (re)submitted and/or comments are sent for this proposal. In order to sign up
on this mailing list, please go to
For those of you with iphones, there is a cool free iphone app on the appstore called “Gravitational Wave Events” (developed by Kramer&Kramer Software, not by us!) that will chirp at you whenever there is an alert!
More details
We have set up a webpage with more detailed information about the process:
