(Fake) GW Candidates

Sample

• Targets are GAIA DR2 sources (Gmag: 17.0-20.0) that lie within 10-20 arcsec of a nearby 6dFS Galaxy Redshift Survey galaxy (recessional velocity less than 15,000 km/s).
• Targets are at RAs that are easily reached during the second half of the night, when the DES footprint is no longer reachable at reasonable airmasses.
• These targets will be used for training/practice for future SOAR ToO runs to classify and follow-up candidate kilonova from LIGO/Virgo O3 binary neutron star alerts.
