Workshop: Cyberinfrastructure for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics

LIGO/室女座、费米和世界各地许多地面天文台首次观测到双中子星合并，宣布了人们期待已久的多信使天体物理学（MMA）领域的到来。对这一单一事件的观察和分析花费了数周时间，消耗了全球引力和天文学界大量的人力和计算资源。位于南极的冰立方中微子天文台最近发现了一种高能中微子，费米天文台和MAGIC天文台也发现了与该中微子在时间和地点上一致的高能伽马射线。大型综合巡天望远镜（LSST）的主要巡天将于2022年底开始，需要额外的能力来确保每天的海量数据集得到处理，并与引力、粒子和其他天文和天体物理观测相协调，所有这些都是近实时的，并且延迟非常低。随着我们开始全天候监测频繁的多信使事件，MMA现在需要应对数据数量和复杂性的增加所带来的挑战。因此，本次多信使天体物理学的网络基础设施（CI）研讨会将为多信使天体物理学和网络基础设施专家提供一个论坛，以开发新的社区规模数据网络基础设施概念，以便及时处理、处理、分析和建模多信使天体物理数据。该研讨会将于2018年5月23日至24日在马里兰大学物理科学中心举行。该项目推进了NSF未来投资的10大构想中的3个目标：“宇宙之窗：多信使天体物理学时代”、“利用数据革命”和“NSF日益增长的融合研究”。这10个重大想法将推动美国研究的前沿，为解决世界面临的一些最紧迫的问题提供创新方法，并带来未知的发现。该项目还推进了国家战略计算计划（NSCI）的目标，该计划旨在在后摩尔定律时代开发新的技术能力。该研讨会奖由物理系计算物理项目和先进网络基础设施办公室新兴科学与工程研究网络基础设施（CESER）项目支持。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The first observation of a binary neutron star merger by LIGO/Virgo, Fermi and many ground- based observatories around the world announced the arrival of the long-anticipated field of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (MMA). Observation and analysis of just this single event took weeks, and consumed a significant fraction of the human and computational resources of the global gravitational and astronomical communities. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at South Pole has recently identified a very high-energy (PeV) neutrino and the Fermi and MAGIC observatories have identified high-energy gamma rays coincident in time and location with that neutrino. The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) primary survey will start in late 2022, needing extra capacity to ensure the daily massive datasets are processed and coordinated with gravitational, particle, and other astronomical and astrophysical observations, and all in near- real-time and with very low latency. MMA needs now to address the challenges of this increase in the amount and complexity of data that will soon be upon us, as we start around-the-clock monitoring of frequent multi-messenger events. As such, this workshop on Cyberinfrastructure (CI) for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics will provide a forum for experts in Multi-Messenger Astrophysics and Cyberinfrastracture to develop concepts for new community-scale data cyberinfrastructure for timely handling, processing, analysis, and modeling of multi-messenger astrophysical data. The workshop will be held at the Physical Science Complex at the University of Maryland on May 23-24, 2018.This project advances the objectives of three of 10 Big Ideas for Future NSF Investments: "Windows on the Universe: The Era of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics", "Harnessing the Data Revolution" and "Growing Convergent Research at NSF". The 10 big ideas will push forward the frontiers of U.S. research, provide innovative approaches to solve some of the most pressing problems the world faces, as well as lead to discoveries not yet known. This project also advances objectives of the National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI), an effort aimed at developing new technological capabilities in the post-Moore's Law era.This workshop award is supported by the Computational Physics program in the Division of Physics and the Cyberinfrastructure for Emerging Science and Engineering Research (CESER) program in the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
