    DescriptionFinding the optical signals (kilonovae) caused by the collision of neutron stars or a neutron star colliding with a black hole is the primary objective of this research. Scientists with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) collaboration keep an eye on notifications from the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors, which pinpoint where in the sky a gravitational-wave signal, suggestive of such a collision, originated.
