The Alert receiving/sending is via the GCN (https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/). The Alert data will be the neutrino candidates in VOEvent format, which is the standard data format for experiments to report and communicate their observed transient celestial events facilitating for follow-ups.

The Alert data will be the neutrino candidates in VOEvent format, which is the standard data format for experiments to report and communicate their observed transient celestial events facilitating for follow-ups. The alert distribution is done via Comet (https://comet.transientskp.org/en/stable/index.html) which is an implementation of the VOEvent transportation protocol.
