A composite image highlighting a few features of the "Augemented Reality" mode of Astro-COLIBRI. In the background a man is holding his phone towards the sky which shows a cosmic explosion. The foreground shows screenshots of the phone highlighting the AR mode overlaying astrophysical transients, stars, and planets onto the sky seen by the phone camera.

Une chasse mondiale aux sources de neutrinos cosmiques
Cette étude dirigée par @fabianschussler.bsky.social utilise un réseau de télescopes (FACT, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS, Fermi/LAT) pour chercher des sources gammas associées aux neutrinos détectés par IceCube. 🧪🔭

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our colleague Yannick Mellier. Yannick was an eminent astronomer, an international figure in modern cosmology, founder and director of TERAPIX from 1997 to 2011, and Consortium Lead of the Euclid space mission since 2011.

A nicely timed meeting of the Astroparticle Physics European Consortium (APPEC) General Assembly in Stockholm during the Nobel Prizel week. Enjoyed the art installations and listened to the Nobel lecturs on Physics (incl. Michel Devoret who is well known at my institute at CEA Paris-Saclay). 🔭🧪⚛️
We've just released a massive update to Astro-COLIBRI! 🔭☄️🧪⚛️
Version 2.25.0 features a completely redesigned mobile experience (yes, you can finally swipe between screens!) and adds powerful new data sources like the RAPAS network and LAST Observatory.

Wonderful news for science! 🔭🧪⚛️☄️
Go THESEUS! 😜

Today, the international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration celebrates the successful completion of its 4th observing run (O4), marking another major step forward in the exploration of the gravitational wave universe. The run relied on coordinated observations and analyses by teams across the world. 🧪🔭
"Prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship & advising a foreign graduate student or postdoc. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding."
Dictators despise science.
After a bruising 42-day shutdown, the government has finally reopened. We took a look at what's next for federal science—how quickly things will get back up to speed and whether there will be long-term consequences.

Explor'Espace 2025 is on! Astro-COLIBRI is teaming up with the CTAO group at CEA Paris-Saclay to showcase high-energy and transient astrophysics to a wide (and very numerous) audience. A whole weekend full of interesting exchanges ahead... 🔭🧪⚛️

Surprising news from the GW observatories LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA just published via an update of their observing plans: they'll still shut-down on November 18, 2025 as announced earlier but now plan for an additional 6 month of science run next year. ☄️🔭🧪⚛️

The #arXiv computer science category is trying to cut down on AI slop spamming the system. They no longer accept un-published (journal or conference) review papers... Other categories may follow (depending on decisions by the moderators). ⚛️🧪☄️

If you are in Paris/France over the coming weekend (November 7-9) you should plan for a visit at the Explor'Espace space and science event. The Astro-COLIBRI team will be there to discuss time domain and multi-messenger astrophysics. 🔭🧪⚛️

The standard and usually not very helpful answer: "running the fine for me". 🤷♂️
Here we go... the 4th Astro-COLIBRI Multi-Messenger Astrophysics workshop has begun... 🔭🧪⚛️☄️

There are no access restrictions to the Virtual Access platform. Please note, however, that responses will be provided on a best-effort basis, typically within a few days to one week, depending on expert availability.
Further details can be found on the ACME website: www.acme-astro.eu
Users are invited to register on the platform and submit a request via the ticketing system in the relevant domain. Each inquiry will be addressed by one or more experts from the respective Centre, who may respond directly within the ticket or propose a follow-up via phone or video call.
ACME supports the scientific community by providing access to expert guidance in these areas:
- Multi-messenger (MM) observatories, and advanced data analysis and tools
- End-to-end support for MWL and MM observations of transient sources
- Theoretical expertise and tools to help interpret data
We are pleased to announce that the Astrophysics Centre for Multimessenger Studies in Europe (ACME) EU-funded project has officially launched its online platform for virtual access to multi-messenger expertise. 🔭🧪⚛️☄️
