The exponential growth in size and complexity of astronomical datasets from space missions presents significant computational and infrastructural challenges. ESA’s Euclid mission has already produced petabytes (PB) of processed data and is projected to produce 30 PB over its operational lifetime. Analysing and processing data on this scale requires specialised infrastructure and...
The Canadian Advanced Network for Astronomical Research (CANFAR) science platform has reached its 1.0 release, marking a significant evolution in its capacity to address the challenges of astronomical analysis in the era of large surveys and facilities. In this presentation, we will detail the evolution of the CANFAR architecture, which provides researchers with a suite of services, including...
The discovery of transient phenomena—such as Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), stellar flares, novae, and supernovae—together with the emergence of new cosmic messengers like high-energy neutrinos and gravitational waves, has revolutionized astrophysics in recent years. To fully exploit the scientific potential of multi-messenger and multi-wavelength follow-up observations, as...
