1st Astro-COLIBRI multi-messenger astrophysics workshop

Sep 26, 2022, 8:35 AM → Sep 30, 2022, 5:00 PM Europe/Berlin

Lecture hall HIB (Ruhr-University Bochum)

Anna Franckowiak, Fabian Schussler (CEA/Irfu), Julia Becker Tjus, Patrick Reichherzer (Ruhr-University Bochum)

The key objective of this workshop is to develop and disseminate a research agenda on interconnecting software tools in real-time multi-messenger astronomy. This international conference provides a forum for 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 facilitates life in rapidly evolving real-time multi-messenger astronomy.

Convener: Prof. Anna Franckowiak (Ruhr-University Bochum)

3:30 PM Present and future large radio surveys of the extreme universe

Transient radio emission is a fundamental tracer and physical probe of the most extreme and transient events in the universe. In this talk I will discuss a number of recent developments with existing radio telescopes, including i. the ThunderKAT image-plane transients programme on MeerKAT, ii. The first citizen-science project to search for commensal radio transients, iii. First radio detections of 'VHE GRBs' detected by ground-based Cherenkov arrays, iv. The possible association of a Tidal Disruption Event with an Ice Cube astrophysical neutrino. I will conclude by discussing the prospects for the next-generation of radio telescope arrays, and why we should consider a dedicated transient monitoring array for the southern hemisphere.

Speaker: Prof. Rob Fender (Oxford)

4:00 PM Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs)

Speaker: Prof. Benjamin Stappers (University of Manchester)

4:30 PM → 5:00 PM Coffee break

5:00 PM → 6:00 PM Introduction: Astro-COLIBRI

5:00 PM Realtime alerts of the transient sky with Astro-COLIBRI

Follow-up observations of transient events are crucial in multimessenger astronomy. We present Astro-COLIBRI as a tool that informs users about flaring events in real-time via push notifications on their mobile phones, thus contributing to enhanced coordination of follow-up observations. We show the software's architecture that comprises a REST API, both a static and a real-time database, a cloud-based alert system, as well as a website and apps for iOS and Android as clients for users. The latter provide a graphical representation with a summary of the relevant data to allow for the fast identification of interesting phenomena along with an assessment of observing conditions at a large selection of observatories around the world in real-time.
