Astro vs Anomalous Phenomena

Astro-COLIBRI: The Real-Time Multi-Messenger Discovery Engine Flares of known astronomical sources and new transient phenomena occur on timescales from sub-seconds to weeks. The discovery potential of both serendipitous and multi-messenger (MM) follow-up observations is maximized with a tool that provides an instantaneous, comprehensive overview of both persistent sources and transient events in the relevant phase space. Astro-COLIBRI is a state-of-the-art research infrastructure designed for the era of Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (TDAMM). Our architecture comprises a RESTful API, a real-time database, and a cloud-based alert system that evaluates incoming VOEvent and GCN messages (via Kafka streams) in real-time. Key Features: - Real-Time Alerts: Immediate push notifications for GRBs, Gravitational Waves (GW), High-Energy Neutrinos, Supernovae, and more, filtered by your custom criteria. - Multi-Wavelength Context: Automatically place events into their MWL context with integrated data from major observatories (Swift, Fermi, SVOM, Einstein-Probe) and catalogs (4FGL, TeVCat, HMXB/LMXB). - Advanced Planning Tools: Assess observing conditions at professional observatories or your own custom coordinates. Includes Sun/Moon positions, altitude plots, and weather assessments. - Interactive Visualization: An interactive SkyMap with selectable events, manual zoom, and specialized Tilepy support for planning coverage of large localization uncertainties (e.g., Gravitational Waves). - Data Enrichment: Access real-time photometry, lightcurves updated twice daily, and galaxy cross-matching to identify potential hosts of transient events. - Pro-Am Collaboration: Dedicated support for amateur networks (e.g., RAPAS, Kilonova-Catcher, BHTOM), allowing for the submission and tracking of observations directly within the global community. Optimized for performance and reliability, Astro-COLIBRI exploits concepts such as multi-index database queries and a global content delivery network (CDN) to provide a seamless user experience for professional researchers and citizen scientists alike.

Anomalous Phenomena Have you ever looked up at the night sky and seen something you couldn’t explain? You’re not alone. Anomalous Phenomena connects a global community of observers documenting unusual aerial and environmental observations. Designed as an evidence-first platform, the app helps users record, explore, and analyze sightings using shared data, visual context, and optional AI-assisted tools — without speculation or conclusions. Document What You Observe When you notice something unusual, every detail matters. Anomalous Phenomena makes it easy to submit a report with descriptions, photos or videos, time, and location data. Each submission becomes part of a growing, worldwide collection of observations. You choose how each report is shared — public, anonymous, or private — with strong privacy controls built in. Explore a World of Activity Browse reports from observers around the world through a live feed and an interactive global map. Discover patterns in time and location, explore recent activity, or view what’s being reported near you. Filter by date or location to focus on what interests you most. AI-Assisted Context Optional AI-assisted features provide informational summaries and contextual insights based on available data. These tools are designed to help organize and explore reports — not to verify events or determine causes. All AI output is educational and probabilistic in nature. Stay Informed With Alerts Enable optional real-time alerts to be notified when new activity is reported near your selected area. Whether you’re casually curious or closely following developments, alerts help you stay aware without constant checking. Save and Organize Save sightings that interest you and build your own personal collection. Premium users can save unlimited reports and organize them for easy reference over time. Free to Start, Premium to Unlock More Anomalous Phenomena is free to explore and use. Premium subscriptions unlock expanded tools, including: Unlimited sighting reports Unlimited report views Unlimited saved sightings Full AI-assisted analysis features Real-time proximity alerts Choose a monthly or annual plan based on your needs. Privacy-Focused by Design Your data is protected with secure authentication and clear permission controls. Camera, photo library, microphone, and location access are used only when you choose to enable related features. Join the Community Every report adds to a shared understanding of unusual observations. Whether you’re curious, analytical, or simply paying attention to the world around you, Anomalous Phenomena provides a thoughtful way to explore what others are seeing.
