Swiftly Chasing Gravitational Waves across the Sky in Real Time
We introduce a new capability of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, dubbed “continuous commanding,” that achieves 10 s latency response time on orbit to unscheduled target-of-opportunity requests received on the ground. We show that this will allow Swift to respond to premerger (early-warning) grav...
