Скачать или смотреть Introduction | Multimessenger Citizen Science for Amateur Astronomers

"Welcome" and "ACME introduction" talks by Stephen Serjeant (The Open University) and Antoine Kouchner (Université Paris-Cité).

Would you like to help search for some of the most extreme astronomical phenomena in the Universe? Multimessenger astrophysics uses coordinated observations of short-lived 'transient' astronomical events, combining visual data from telescopes with gravitational waves, gamma rays, and neutrino particles from the explosive activity, death, and merging of stars and black holes!

This talk formed part of the ACME Multimessenger Citizen Science: Training Event for Amateur Astronomers, held in June 2025. Find out more here: https://citizen-science.sciencesconf.org/

This hands-on virtual workshop aimed to allow the non-professional astronomy community to engage with professional multi-messenger research communities and to learn about tools they can use to contribute to astrophysics research on multimessenger & transient events through citizen science. There are no requirements to take part beyond having access to a telescope (of any size) and, of course, enthusiasm!
