Status of the partners preparing for the Gaia Alerts verification
Information about the requirements
In order to become a member of the Gaia Follow-up Network for Transient Objects (Gaia-FUN-TO), especially to take part in the alerts verification, a potential partner must fullfil a number of requirements. The list of requirements is still to be fine-tuned, but they are:
- react to an alert (or to a request with a target) and conduct its observations within 24h
- reduce the photometric data and submit to the CPCS within 24h from the observation
- flux calibrations better than 10% (0.1 mag)
- perform at least 5 tests before June 2013.
