  1. 28. The hidden latencies in real-time astronomy
    Kendall Ackley (University of Warwick/Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer)
    6/9/26, 3:05 PM
  2. 29. Computing hurdles in wide-field target-of-opportunity searches with Rubin and ZTF (Remote Presentation)
    Shreya Anand (Standford University)
    6/9/26, 3:30 PM
  3. 32. On the role of multimodality for the real-time discovery and classification of transients
    Ved Shah (Northwestern University)
    6/9/26, 3:50 PM

    The Rubin Observatory is detecting an unprecedented number of transients each night, exceeding the classification capacity of all existing spectroscopic resources my several orders of magnitude. As a result, robust photometric classifications will be essential both for assembling complete samples of different transient subtypes and for identifying events that warrant spectroscopic follow-up....

  4. 57. Ten Million Alerts a Night: Computing Bottlenecks in Real-Time Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (Remote Presentation)
    Gautham Narayan (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign)
    6/9/26, 4:15 PM

    Real-time multi-messenger astrophysics is as much a computing problem as a telescope problem. The same event can trigger gravitational-wave, neutrino, radio, and optical alerts within seconds, but the science only happens if the infrastructure can carry, filter, and join those streams fast enough to act on them. I work on three of these systems: ANTARES, which ingests and classifies Rubin's...

  5. 33. Constraining Degeneracies in Gamma-Ray Burst Simulations
    Nathan Walker (Oregon State University)
    6/9/26, 4:40 PM

    I will talk about difficulties associated with free parameters in modeling GRB emission. Without a way to constrain these parameters, inferring too much information from models can be problematic. Recent advances in the physics that can launch GRB jets, however, have the potential to enable a deep understanding of GRBs and their progenitors. My talk will address how degeneracies arise in...
