The Astronomer’s Telegram, which is an internet-based publication service for disseminating new astronomical information quickly. It is for the reporting and commenting upon new astronomical observations of transient sources.In addition to the Telegram Index on the web, readers may request a Daily Email Digest (see Email Options ). Readers select subject areas of interest, and Telegrams marked with those subject headings will be emailed after each 24-hr period (no email will be sent if no such Telegrams are received). Readers may also request the Instant Email Notices, used to report the discovery, with coordinates, of one of several different types of objects, as well as new outbursts of previously known transients. The Instant Email Notices also include a "Request for Observations", which provides alerts of observational opportunities in the coming 72 hours. The Instant Email Notices are sent immediately (within a few seconds) upon receipt.
Reports submitted to The Astronomer's Telegram are not filtered or edited: the final editing on all submissions is made by the author. Submissions are posted onto the web instantly, by software.
All reports are citeable, and referenced for fast retreival at the NASA/ADS Abstract Service.
