What's New in Astro
2.30.0
June 25, 2026
GRB optical afterglows Photometry reported in GCN circulars is now automatically extracted and converted to a common Rc band. Every burst is plotted against a large archival sample, and you can fit the decay and extrapolate the brightness to your planned observation time. Observatories & observation reports Register your own observatory and manage its members, submit and browse observation reports from web and mobile, and contact everyone who reported observations of a transient — whether via GCN circular or directly in Astro-COLIBRI. Sign in with ORCID Register or log in with your ORCID account, in addition to Google, Apple, and email. Also in this release: faster image loading, bulk download of events in IVOA VOTable format, update reminders when a newer version is available, and various improvements and bug fixes.

FAQ
What types of astronomical events does Astro-COLIBRI alert users about?
Astro-COLIBRI provides real-time push notifications for a variety of astronomical events, including Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), Gravitational Waves (GW), High-Energy Neutrinos, and Supernovae. Users can filter these alerts based on their custom criteria.
How does Astro-COLIBRI provide multi-wavelength context for events?
The app automatically places detected events into their Multi-Wavelength (MWL) context by integrating data from major observatories like Swift and Fermi, as well as catalogs such as 4FGL and TeVCat.
Can Astro-COLIBRI help with planning observations?
Yes, Astro-COLIBRI includes advanced planning tools to assess observing conditions at professional observatories or custom coordinates. This includes information on Sun/Moon positions, altitude plots, and weather assessments.
Does Astro-COLIBRI support collaboration between professional and amateur astronomers?
Absolutely. Astro-COLIBRI is designed for Pro-Am collaboration, offering dedicated support for amateur networks. This allows for the submission and tracking of observations directly within the global community.
What are the subscription options for Astro-COLIBRI AR?
