| Abstract: |
In the multi-messenger era, facilities share their results with the scientific community through networks such as the General Coordinates Network (GCN) to
study transient phenomena (e.g., gamma-ray bursts) and implement real-time analysis
pipelines to detect transient events, reacting to science alerts received from other observatories. The fast analysis of transient events is crucial for detecting counterparts of
gravitational waves and neutrino candidate events. In this context, collecting scientific
results from different high-energy satellites observing the same transient event represents a key step in improving the statistical significance of the high-energy candidate
events. This project aims to develop a system and a web platform to share information and scientific results of transient events between high-energy satellites with INAF
participation (AGILE, Fermi, INTEGRAL and Swift). The AFISS platform implements
the Comet VOEvent broker and provides a web portal where users can visualize the
list of transient events detected by multi-messenger facilities and received through the
GCN. The web portal could show, for each event, a summary of the scientific results
shared by the real-time analysis pipelines and a list of time-correlated transient events.
In addition, the platform is ready to receive results from participating facilities on sub-threshold events (STE) that cannot be shared with the community due to the low statistical significance. If the platform finds a time correlation between two or more STEs,
it can promote them to science alerts. The web interface shows the list of STEs with
possible time correlation with other STEs or science alerts. The platform notifies the
users with an email when a new transient event is received. |
