Given TeV emission similar to GRB 090510, CTA could detect short-GRB counterparts of gravitational-wave mergers even when follow-up starts more than an hour after the event.

abstract
VERITAS, an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) system for gammma-ray astronomy in the GeV-TeV range, has recently completed its first season of observations with a full array of four telescopes. A number of astrophysical gamma-ray sources have been detected, both galactic and extragalactic, including sources previously unknown at TeV energies. We describe the status of the array and some highlight results, and assess the technical performance, sensitivity and shower reconstruction capabilities.

Gravitational-wave follow-up with CTA after the detection of GRBs in the TeV energy domain
Given TeV emission similar to GRB 090510, CTA could detect short-GRB counterparts of gravitational-wave mergers even when follow-up starts more than an hour after the event.
