Astro-COLIBRI is an advanced real-time research infrastructure for time-domain and multi-messenger astrophysics. It provides a seamless interface to rapidly evolving astronomical events, aggregating and processing alerts from all major observatories and instruments covering all wavelengths and messengers. The platform enables researchers and amateur astronomers to visualize, analyze, and coordinate follow-up observations with ground- and space-based facilities. Through advanced filtering, interactive sky maps, contextual data retrieval and real-time event dissemination through push-notifications, Astro-COLIBRI facilitates rapid decision-making for time-sensitive observations. It is openly accessible via a web platform, mobile apps and an API, fostering collaboration across international astrophysical communities.
Within ACME, the Astro-COLIBRI infrastructure provides virtual access to real-time alerts as well as a comprehensive archive of transient phenomena. Astro-COLIBRI also provides programmatic access to various source catalogs and tools facilitating time domain and multi-messenger follow-up observations. The platform will be enhanced by integrating seamlessly with multiple complementary ACME infrastructures.
