1. Purpose
GROWTH is a collaboration of researchers who use our global network of observatories to conduct rapid follow-up observations of fast transients. The goals of this policy are |

Led by Caltech, twelve partner institutions from around the world have created a collaborative network of observatories to effectively beat sunrise and keep our "eyes" fixed on these short-lived cosmic events by switching observations from one location to the next as the earth rotates. These extended initial observations in the first 24 hours after a cosmic transient is detected will help us localize the primary source of gravitational wave, identify the long sought cosmic location of heavy element production, track and analyze small near-earth asteroids and much more. GROWTH is jointly funded by the National Science Foundation under the PIRE program and national funding provided by partner institutions in Japan, Taiwan and India. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.” |
