Title: Astro-COLIBRI: Empowering Citizen Scientists in Multi-Messenger Astrophysics

Title: 天体COLIBRI:在多信使天文学中赋能公民科学家

Authors:Fabian Schüssler, B. Cornejo, M. Costa, I. Jaroschewski, W. Kiendrébéogo (on behalf of the Astro-COLIBRI team)
Abstract: In the era of real-time astronomy, citizen scientists play an increasingly important role in the discovery and follow-up of transient astrophysical phenomena. From local astronomical societies to global initiatives, amateur astronomers contribute valuable observational data that complement professional efforts. Astro-COLIBRI facilitates these contributions by providing a user-friendly platform that integrates real-time alerts, data visualization tools, and collaborative features to support astronomers at all levels. The Astro-COLIBRI Citizen Science Program provides engagement opportunities across multiple scales. At the grassroots level, we collaborate with local astronomy clubs, equipping them with accessible tools for transient event monitoring. National and international networks, such as RAPAS in France, leverage Astro-COLIBRI's real-time capabilities for coordinated observations. On a global scale, we actively participate in high-impact citizen science and capacity building initiatives, including the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Citizen Science Program and the "Open Universe" initiative led by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA). These collaborations enhance the accessibility of real-time astrophysical data and foster inclusive participation in cutting-edge astronomy. In this contribution, we will present the Astro-COLIBRI Citizen Science Program, highlighting its technical framework, community impact, and case studies of successful amateur contributions. We will showcase how our platform facilitates the rapid exchange of information between professional and amateur astronomers, democratizing access to multi-messenger astrophysics and enabling the global community to contribute meaningfully to time-domain discoveries.
Abstract: 在实时天文学时代,公民科学家在瞬变天体物理现象的发现和后续研究中发挥着越来越重要的作用。 从地方天文协会到全球倡议,业余天文学家提供的观测数据对专业工作起到了补充作用。 Astro-COLIBRI 通过提供一个用户友好的平台,集成了实时警报、数据可视化工具和协作功能,以支持各级天文学家。 Astro-COLIBRI 公民科学项目提供了跨多个尺度的参与机会。 在基层层面,我们与当地天文俱乐部合作,为他们提供用于瞬变事件监测的易用工具。 国家和国际网络,如法国的 RAPAS,利用 Astro-COLIBRI 的实时能力进行协调观测。 在全球范围内,我们积极参与高影响力的公民科学和能力建设倡议,包括国际天文学联合会(IAU)公民科学计划以及由联合国外层空间事务办公室(UNOOSA)主导的“开放宇宙”倡议。 这些合作提高了实时天体物理数据的可访问性,并促进了在尖端天文学中的包容性参与。 在本次贡献中,我们将介绍 Astro-COLIBRI 公民科学计划,重点介绍其技术框架、社区影响以及成功业余贡献的案例研究。 我们将展示我们的平台如何促进专业和业余天文学家之间的信息快速交流,使多信使天文学的访问更加民主化,并使全球社区能够有意义地参与时域发现。
