Resource-aware Research on Universe and Matter: Call-to-Action in Digital Transformation
Given the urgency to reduce fossil fuel energy production to make climate
tipping points less likely, we call for resource-aware knowledge gain in the
research areas on Universe and Matter with emphasis on the digital
transformation. A portfolio of measures is described in detail and then
summarized according to the timescales required for their implementation. The
measures will both contribute to sustainable research and accelerate scientific
progress through increased awareness of resource usage. This work is based on a
three-days workshop on sustainability in digital transformation held in May
2023.Comment: 20 pages, 2 figures, publication following workshop 'Sustainability
in the Digital Transformation of Basic Research on Universe & Matter', 30 May
to 2 June 2023, Meinerzhagen, Germany, https://indico.desy.de/event/3748

Chasing Gravitational Waves with the Chereknov Telescope Array
Presented at the 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC 2023), 2023 (arXiv:2309.08219)2310.07413International audienceThe detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (GW170817), along with the discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts of this gravitational wave event, ushered in a new era of multimessenger astronomy, providing the first direct evidence that BNS mergers are progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Such events may also produce very-high-energy (VHE, > 100GeV) photons which have yet to be detected in coincidence with a gravitational wave signal. The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a next-generation VHE observatory which aims to be indispensable in this search, with an unparalleled sensitivity and ability to slew anywhere on the sky within a few tens of seconds. New observing modes and follow-up strategies are being developed for CTA to rapidly cover localization areas of gravitational wave events that are typically larger than the CTA field of view. This work will evaluate and provide estimations on the expected number of of gravitational wave events that will be observable with CTA, considering both on- and off-axis emission. In addition, we will present and discuss the prospects of potential follow-up strategies with CTA
