ZTF Spring Collaboration Meeting
The ZTF 2023 Spring meeting till take place May 10-12 in downtown Berlin, Germany. We hope that as many as possible can make it here, but a Zoom connection will be open for those who cannot.
The meeting will have sessions dedicated for:
- Project news and updates.
- Working group updates.
- ZTF & LIGO/VIRGO/Kagra O4: O4 is scheduled to start around the time of the meeting and ZTF has unique follow-up capabilities, but are we ready for the expected increased alert rate?
- Tools and techniques: The ZTF data flow has sparked the creation of new kinds of analysis and visualization tools, but unfortunately many of them are not well known outside of the working groups.
- ZTF legacy: The ZTF surveys have led to the creation of huge time-domain dataset and experience for understanding these has been built up in working groups. Is this data accessible as easily as it should, and are there core results that should be focused on as a legacy?
See the program for more information and contact us if you have a tool/method to present or ideas for the legacy discussion.
The meeting dinner will take place Thu May 11 19.00 at Kreuzberger Himmel, Yorckstrasse 89, 10965 Berlin. You can walk here from the conference venue. This takes 45-60 min but takes you through some different Berlin areas, from downtown through Checkpoint Charlie and then into Kreuzberg. Alternatively you can take the U6 subway line from Friedrichstrasse to Mehringdamm.
The ZTF meeting will be preceded by an open GW/follow-up workshop May 8-9, do consider joining this as well. More information too come.
