WoU-MMA: Collaborative Research: All-Sky Automated Survey for -Supernovae in the Era of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics

引力波（GW）最近被探测到LIGO/VIRGO和高能量中微子事件的冰立方。在三个（电磁是第三个）“窗口”中的两个中监测这种排放的时代现在已经打开。超新星全天空自动巡天（ASAS-SN）在全球分布的观测站使用机器人操作的望远镜，以比日常更快的速度对可见天空进行巡天，是发现、识别和监测电磁辐射的理想选择，进而触发整个电磁频谱的观测。在两个或多个“窗口”中协调监测这些事件将导致识别物体和理解引起这些事件的高能物理过程。ASAS-SN计划将继续为下一代时域天文学家和博士后提供关键培训，让他们参与这项资助资助的研究。将开展一个“公民科学”项目，对ASAS-SN数据中的1，000，000颗变星进行分类。 一个ASAS-AN启发天文馆显示将开发最初为俄勒冈州立大学天文馆，后来，分发到其他天文馆。 这笔赠款用于支持ASAS-SN调查的运作。 随着机器人控制的望远镜分布在两个半球，它每天映射可见的天空，使其成为研究可变光学现象的理想选择，如银河新星，银河瞬变，超新星，变星。这些数据在观测后不久就提供给天文学界和公众。 它已经积累了几年的数据，并将继续目前的业务。 随着LIGO/VIRGO对引力波的探测和IceCube对高能中微子的探测，以及ASAS-SN对电磁对应物的探测、定位和向天文学界发布其位置，ASAS-SN将为获得解释在几个“窗口”中引起事件的物理机制所需的多波长数据作出宝贵贡献，并将导致对它们的理解。该项目推进了NSF宇宙大创意窗口的目标。该奖项反映了NSF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。

Gravitation Waves (GW) have recently been detected with LIGO/VIRGO and high energy neutrino events by IceCube. The era of monitoring this emission in two of the three (electromagnetic is the third) "windows" is now open. The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) uses robotically operated telescopes at globally distributed observing sites to survey the visible sky on faster than a daily cadence and is ideal for discovering, identifying and monitoring electromagnetic emission and in turn trigger observation across the electromagnetic spectrum. The coordination of monitoring these events in two or more "windows" will lead to identifying the objects and understanding the high energy physical processes giving rise to these events. The ASAS-SN program will continue to provide critical training for the next generation time-domain astronomers and postdocs by their participation in the research sponsored by this grant. A "Citizen Science" project will be undertaken to classify the 1,000,000 variable stars present in the ASAS-SN data. An ASAS-AN inspired planetarium show will be developed initially for the OSU Planetarium and later, distributed to other planetaria. This grant supports the operation of the ASAS-SN survey. With robotically controlled telescopes distributed in both hemispheres it maps the visible sky on a daily basis, making it ideal for the study of variable optical phenomena such as Galactic novae, galactic transients, Supernovae, variable stars. The data is made available to the astronomical community and the public shortly after observation. It has already accumulated data over several years and will continue with its present operations. With the detection of Gravitational Waves by LIGO/VIRGO and high energy neutrinos by IceCube, and followed by ASAS-SN's detecting, and localizing the electromagnetic counterpart and distributing its location to the astronomical community, ASAS-SN will make an invaluable contribution to obtaining the multiwavelength data needed to interpret the physical mechanisms giving rise to events in several "windows" and will lead to their understanding. This project advances the goals of the NSF Windows on the Universe Big-Idea.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.
