Time Domain Astronomy with Swift: IV
- When: October 28–30, 2024
- Where: Clemson University Conference Center & Inn, Clemson, South Carolina
With convergence of both science (i.e., community interests) and technology (the advent of new facilities enabled by Moore’s Law), time-domain and multi-messenger exploration of the sky promises frontier pursuits in the coming decade. Thanks to its wide-field hard X-ray monitor and rapid-response, sensitive X-ray and UV instruments, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has played a critical role in the growth of time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy for many years.
In preparation for the 2025 NASA Senior Review of Operating Missions, we are organizing a community workshop at Clemson University with three main objectives:
- To identify the most impactful Swift results from the last three years
- To identify the most compelling scientific opportunities in time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy with Swift in the next three to five years
- To determine the resources (i.e., observing time, new observing modes, data analysis pipelines, etc.) necessary to capitalize on these new opportunities. Community members with interests in Swift operations are encouraged to join the Swift team to help chart the direction for the mission for the next three to five years.
