- Author contribution statement
- Osborne was the originator of the Swift planning to respond to the aLIGO gravitational wave alerts. This required a substantial enhancement of the Swift multiple short observation capability, on which this result was critically dependant. Swift was the first observatory to make X-ray and UV/optical follow-up observations of this event out of 63 contributing facilities. Osborne made extensive intellectual contributions to the detailed design of the gravitational wave follow-up by Swift which gave rise to its prominence in this paper. He provided inputs on the Swift results presented in the paper and the analysis used to generate them.
