CSP - Plenary Session - Friday November 15, 2024, 11:00-12:30 Local Time

High Energy and Time Domain

The goal of the session is to hear from high-energy projects about their involvement in IVOA and their use of standards.
The question posed to all the speakers to address in their presentations are listed below:

  • How does your project make their data discoverable? Are data from your project in the IVOA registry? Are there problems in the IVOA Obscore definition preventing or limiting it?

  • What data products are used in your data analysis and are they interoperable with data from other projects? Do you use a data model?

  • What do you use for an alert system? Do you use VOevent, and if not, can you address the issues you see?

  • How do you coordinate rapid follow up observations currently? Are the Observing plan of your project/mission available externally and is there coordination of your project/mission among the HE projects? Are you familiar with the IVOA ObsLocTAP protocol and ObjObsSAP working draft of the IVOA?

Speaker Title Abstract
Jamie Kennea (Penn State - NASA Swift) 15 min Swift, ACROSS and VO I'll talk about the Swift use (and non-use) of VO standards, how I see the answers to the questions posed from the perspective of Swift, and also talk about how ACROSS initiative hopes to make VO adoption better for HEA missions in the future.
Yunfei Xu (China-VO) 15 min Einstein Probe Time Domain Astronomical Information Center: Enhancing Data Discovery, Transient Identification, and Rapid Follow-up Coordination The Time Domain Astronomical Information Center (TDAIC) provides three key services to the Einstein Probe (EP) scientific team: data discovery, high energy transient identification, and observation coordination.This report will detail the functionalities of TDAIC and the application of IVOA-related standards within its framework.
Karl Kosack (CTA/HESS) 10 min IVOA and High-Energy Gamma Rays: Ground-based IACTs The Very-High-energy (VHE) Gamma-ray community is currently moving from closed instruments with roprietary data formats and access (e.g. HESS, MAGIC, and VERITAS) toward the future open observatory CTAO. I will present the current state of the efforts to ensure FAIR data products, integrate IVOA services, and to develop open and inter-operable data models and formats in our scientific community and beyond.
Jutta Schnabel (ECAP / KM3NeT) 10 min High-Energy Neutrino Data for the VO: Status and Prospects High-energy neutrino experiments have started sharing neutrino event catalogues in the VO in recent years, but their usability for
multimessenger analyses remains limited due to the lack of sufficient additional information for the interpretation for the low-countrate data. The talk will cover current efforts and requirements for enhanced data use from the neutrino community.
Judy Racusin (NASA GCN) 18 min

General Coordinates Network (GCN): NASA’s Time-Domain and Multimessenger Astronomy Alert System

GCN is a public collaboration platform run by NASA for the astronomy research community to share alerts and rapid communications about high-energy, multimessenger, and transient phenomena. GCN distributes alerts between space- and ground-based observatories, physics experiments, and thousands of astronomers around the world. With new transient instruments from across the electromagnetic spectrum and multimessenger facilities, this coordination effort is more important and complex than ever. GCN is built on modern, open-source, reliable, and secure alert distribution technologies, and deployed in the cloud. In this talk, I will present the status of the migration from the legacy GCN Classic system to the new GCN, recent and upcoming features, the GCN JSON Notices schema and relationship to VOEvent, and the status of onboarding new observatories.

Roberto de Pietri (Universita di Parma) 15 min (remote)
Janet Evans (CXC) 5 min HEIG overview Quick overview of the activities of the HEIG working group and 'ask' to the IVOA Exec to welcome a new interest group.
