Multidisciplinary Science in the Multimessenger Era: 3rd TDAMM Workshop White Paper

To foster multidisciplinary research in the area of explosive transients, LSU, the DOE’s LANL and CNAAM, NASA’s PhysCOS, and the NSF hosted the 3rd in a series of Time Domain and Multimessenger (TDAMM) workshops in Baton Rouge, LA on September 23 – 26, 2024, focused on Multidisciplinary Science in the Multimessenger Era.

The workshop goals were to identify opportunities in two directions, using information from other fields to interpret astrophysical observations and also using astrophysical observations to probe outstanding questions in other fields. We invited the community to review the current state of resources in the relevant fields, reporting on existing collaborations and partnerships which cross disciplines, and identify barriers to multidisciplinary research. This workshop sought to understand how the scientific return of facilities can be maximized through alignment of existing initiatives, facilities, and mechanisms and, if necessary, suggest the creation of new ones. Lastly, we asked the participants to conceive of methods to sustain growth in this area. The output of the workshop is a white paper, now available on the arXiv, addressing these questions.
