The first ACME workshop

The gravitational wave sky and complementary observations

Toulouse, France

7th-11th April 2025

This is the first ACME workshop. It will focus on the gravitational wave sky and complementary observations. This workshop aims to provide astronomers with diverse information to help take, analyse and interpret multi-wavelength/ messenger observations of the gravitational wave sky, aswell as provide information on tools that can help coordinate efforts to observe the transient sky. A wide range of gravitational wave detectors and sources will be discussed, including gamma-ray bursts, kilonovae, stellar mass compact object binaries, massive black hole binaries and related objects, cosmological and exotic sources. There will also be a strong focus on time domain and transient astronomy. The programme will consist of review talks, invited talks and contributed talks as well as discussion sessions. There will also be space for posters. 

Abstract submission opens on 6th December 2024 and remain open until 24th January 2025. The programme will be published at the beginning of February 2025. Registration is open and will stay open until we reach the maximum number of participants (100 in person participants). The meeting will be proposed in hybrid format. Some funding is available for participants. There is no registration fee for this meeting.
