The research project aims to install a new wide field spectrometer at the back of the Zadko Telescope. This instrument will allow us to extract the spectrum of any interesting object located in the error box of a GW event, and to precise within minutes its spectral properties. This will greatly help the detection in optical of the GW counterpart.
