Аннотация: We present the results of the participation of the MASTER Global Robotic Network in the programto support the aLIGO (O1) and LIGO/Virgo (O2 and O3) gravitational-wave experiments in the electromagneticchannel. This study covers the first observing run O1 from September 2015 to January 2016, thesecond observing run O2 from November 2016 to August 2017 (only LIGO in January–July, jointLIGO/VIRGO (LVC) in August) and the third observing run O3 from April 2019 to April 2020. The maingoal of these observations was to, for the first time in the history of astronomy, perform precise localizationof gravitational-wave sources, which successfully resulted in the independent discovery of the kilonova usingMASTER telescopes in the process of searching for the source of the GW170817 event. In many other events,dozens of optical transients unrelated to gravitational waves have been detected. Nevertheless, the experienceof optical localization of gravitational waves is of exceptional importance for the development of a future successfulstrategy for the localization of gravitational wave events involving relativistic stars. In addition, objectsdetected in the analysis of huge areas in the sky, determined by the localization errors of the GW source, havebeen studied in particular detail by telescopes around the world. Objects such as supernovae, novae, activegalactic nuclei, dwarf novae and other explosive phenomena in the Universe have been found and analyzed.More than 220000 deg2 within the region of the most probable localization of a gravitational wave source havebeen explored by the MASTER Global Robotic Network. This paper reports on the observations of theMASTER Global Robotic Network for all alert events from the O1, O2, and O3 observing runs.
