ACME Multimessenger Citizen Science: Training Event for Amateur Astronomers
Time: Tuesday 10th June 2025
Website: https://citizen-science.sciencesconf.org/Would you like to help search for some of the most extreme astronomical phenomena in the Universe? Multimessenger astrophysics uses coordinated observations of short-lived ‘transient’ astronomical events, combining visual data from telescopes with gravitational waves, gamma rays, and neutrino particles from the explosive activity, death, and merging of stars and black holes.
The Astrophysics Centre for Multimessenger studies in Europe (ACME) is pleased to announce an upcoming free online event for amateur astronomers to learn about tools they can use to contribute to astrophysics research on multimessenger & transient events through citizen science. The event will take place on Tuesday 10th June 2025, and will consist of talks, demonstrations and hands-on tutorials from both professional and amateur astronomers to inform the amateur astronomy community on best practices, get them accustomed to what the research community needs in terms of data, and explore the tools available to capture/store/utilise that data. Session topics include the user-friendly tool Astro-COLIBRI for multimessenger astrophysics and the RAPAS network for monitoring transients, as well as talks from amateur astronomers on the WIVONA citizen science project for interfacing with Virtual Observatory tools.
Registration is now open, and if you would like to present your own experience of these or similar tools in the form of a short talk or demonstration then please submit an abstract through the website.
