Synopsis
The astrophysics community has available a diverse and powerful network of ground- and space-based instruments and facilities to enable observers to identify the electromagnetic signatures of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (MMA) events, and then monitor and characterize their evolution. There also exists a rich set of software packages to track, schedule and support these observations. The community has identified the need to better harmonize these resources and interconnect users. The Multi-Messenger Coordination for Windows on the Universe (MMC-WoU) program will support the development of pathways or networks to increase the coordination and optimization of follow-up observations for MMA campaigns.
Program contacts
The WoU-MMA program includes the Division of Astronomical Sciences (AST) and the Division of Physics (PHY) within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS), and the Office of Polar Programs (OPP) within the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO).
The contacts listed above are the designated Division-level representatives for the MMC-WoU program.
