Description

We perform optial follow-up observations of transients such as gravitational
wave signals and fast radio bursts with the Subaru telescope/Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC),
which is a wide field camera with a field of view of 1.7deg2. The Subaru/HSC
has the highest light collecting power in unit time among all optical telescopes
currently in operation. In this presentation, I will introduce our observational
challenges in the follow-up observations with Subaru/HSC.
