1st Astro-COLIBRI multi-messenger astrophysics workshop
Developping and disseminating a research agenda on interconnecting software tools for real-time multi-messenger astronomy
The key objective of this workshop was to develop and disseminate a research agenda on interconnecting software tools for real-time multi-messenger astronomy. This international workshop provided a forum for 40 leading scientists and young researchers to foster communication within the community between developers and users with a range of expertise in the production and use of software tools that facilitate research in the rapidly evolving domain of real-time multi-messenger astronomy.
We started this journey already 2 years ago by developing Astro-COLIBRI (astro-colibri.com), a tool that aims to be the top layer connecting existing subsystems into a large ecosystem, with a focus on optimized display for users through an interactive graphical user interface and mobile apps that receive push notifications of alerts in real-time, both usable in an intuitive way. Astro-COLIBRI is already heavily used in the scientific community and among hobby astronomers. Given the role of our platform in the real-time multi-messenger community, the workshop was named “1st Astro-COLIBRI multi-messenger astrophysics workshop”.
15 invited experts from France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the UK, and the USA shared the most cutting-edge research. Their presentations during the dedicated science sections over the first three days related to different aspects of Astro-COLIBRI and real-time multi-messenger astronomy in general. These insights served as input for the subsequent discussion sections. Concrete project ideas for the first Sciathon in Astrophysics were collected. The Sciathon, a science-focussed Hackathon, took part over the last two days of the workshop. It was an excellent opportunity to develop ideas to answer important questions concerning the next steps in real-time multi-messenger astrophysics raised over the first part of the workshop. Young scientists worked together in six teams with three to six participants each. The Sciathon was a lot of fun, a lot of work – and the start of great collaborations! First project results found their way already into the scientific community.
