Collaborative Research: EAGER: Advancing Reproducibility in Multi-Messenger Astrophysics

该项目通过开发和分享理解和使用已发表的科学成果所需的可持续知识，促进多信使天体物理学的可重复性。具体来说，该项目的目标是第一个M87事件视界望远镜（EHT）和中子星星内部成分探测器（NICER）项目发表的突破性发现。了解可再现性如何纳入天体物理学工作流程，并分享可再现科学软件的实践，有助于实现跨学科的开放科学。该项目生成的代码、数据和工作流程使不同教育水平的研究人员和学生能够重新获得相同的发现，了解科学方法，并参与新的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）研究。该项目为天体物理学社区提供了一个变革性的构建块，为可复制的开放科学制定了路线图。EHT和NICER结果再现性过程的发现通过文档、数据产品和使用的方法进行捕获和传播。通过出版物中描述的新见解，该项目就如何有效地增强天体物理学的结果提供了建议，以提供可复制，可复制和可共享的科学发现。该项目的发现使科学家能够复制已发表的成果，超出目标工作范围，并使包括STEM学生在内的更多受众看到该方法;新的理解有助于加快科学发现的步伐。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project advances reproducibility in multi-messenger astrophysics by developing and sharing sustainable knowledge necessary to understand and use published scientific results. Specifically, the project targets breakthrough findings published by the First M87 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and the Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER) projects. Understanding how reproducibility is incorporated in astrophysics workflows and sharing practices in reproducible scientific software help enable open science across disciplines. Codes, data, and workflows generated by this project enable researchers and students at various levels of education to regenerate the same findings, learn about the scientific methods, and engage in new science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research.The project provides the astrophysics community with a transformative building block to a roadmap for reproducible open science. Findings about the reproducibility process of the EHT and NICER results are captured and disseminated through documentation, data products, and methods used. Through new insights described in publications, the project delivers recommendations on how results in astrophysics can be effectively enhanced to provide reproducible, replicable, and shareable scientific discovery. The project findings enable scientists to reproduce published results beyond the targeted work and make the methods visible to a larger audience including STEM students; the new understating helps accelerate the pace of scientific discovery.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.
