Swift ToO User Agreement

Target of Opportunity Request is intended for use by knowledgeable professional and amateur astronomers to request observations of transient or flaring astrophysical sources by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. The Science Operations Team is not obligated to observe all requested targets, even if scientifically interesting. The Swift Principal Investigator and Project Scientists are the final authority for all decisions regarding Targets of Opportunity.

By accepting this agreement you agree to submit only legitimate requests for astrophysical sources and to provide supporting data upon request. Visual sightings must be corroborated by an independent source. Acceptance also means you agree to abide by these terms and conditions.

Complete the form and accept the agreement to create your account.

Your account is created immediately after a successful API response.
