[Use this service from your browser]

Further access options are discussed below

VOEvent alerts produced from transient detections resulting from observations with the NASA Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and the Burst Alert Telescope. Events should be reported within tens to of seconds to hours; expect about 3 events per week, where most events correspond to either gamma ray burst, or other transient. Stream giving alerts and localizations for hard X-ray/gamma-ray transients beginning with a detection(SWIFT_BAT_GRB_ALERT), lightcurve ('SWIFT_BAT_GRB_LC') and processed light curve (SWIFT_BAT_GRB_LC_PROC), whether or not the position was acquired (SWIFT_BAT_GRB_POS_ACK) or not acquired (SWIFT_BAT_GRB_POS_NACK), and the scaled map image reconstruction (SWIFT_BAT_SCALEDMAP). Observatory alerts about automated decisions of whether or not to slew to the detected transient are also included (SWIFT_FOM_OBS).
