Why All the Fuss?
The Fuss: 68 ATels, 15 GCNs, 3 Press Releases
Known distance, companion type, BH mass,
system inclination
Northern Summer (non-teaching) nighttime object
It got VERY Bright VERY quickly.
New facilities / capacities since last great BH
outburst
New modes of collaboration / communication

Undergoes many >5 Crab flares for ~ 11 days
(peaking at ~50 Crab)
then decays with flares for ~ 39 - 54 days

Summary
Most interesting BH outburst in >10 years.
Strong community response, both in data
collected and potential for collaboration.
Need more time to determine science results
from multi-wavelength and full lessons
learned, but…
Some Lessons Learned
1.  Broad wavelength coverage is essential for
unlocking physics, but it takes time.
2.  Rapid automated response is crucial.
3.  Long continuous stares can fill in missing
parts from most monitoring campaigns.
Some Lessons Learned
4.  Subarrays and other simultaneous observing
modes provide great value.
5.  VLBI-imaging can reveal incredible views.
6.  Coordinated sub-mm data can show
increased variability and get closer to the
action compared to cm data.
Some Lessons Learned
7)  We need to be more organized for next
similar campaign!!!
Community is forming the
Simultaneous Multiwavelength Astronomy
Research in Transients NETwork
(SMARTNet)
http://www.isdc.unige.ch/SMARTNet
to address this need across astrophysical
source types!
