Enabling Multi-Messenger Astrophysics in the Big Data Era
About Event
Location
Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)
3700 San Martin Drive
Baltimore, MD 21218
Description
Stellar deaths and their afterlives are laboratories that test fundamental physics through astrophysics. The advent of extremely wide-field surveys will revolutionize this field, and we will be able to probe new time and energy scales. The community will need to build new infrastructure and change existing paradigms to maximize the science return of these facilities. This workshop will connect scientists with expertise in multi-messenger astrophysics with statisticians, data scientists, and software developers. Together, they will highlight what infrastructure exists, identify how these pieces may be connected together into a larger ecosystem, and develop a roadmap to prepare for future surveys.
Registration Fee: $150.00 USD (includes breakfast and light refreshments mid-morning and afternoon)
To Submit Talk/Poster Abstract: Please submit completed Abstract Submission form .
Notes
Space permitting, workshop talks are open to faculty and staff from all local (Maryland & Washington DC) institutions without registering. Unregistered participants are asked to refrain from sampling the refreshments.
