Piggybacking astronomical hazard investigations on scientific Big Data missions
arxiv(2024)
Abstract
Current and upcoming large optical and near-infrared astronomical surveys
have fundamental science as their primary drivers. To cater to those, these
missions scan large fractions of the entire sky at multiple wavelengths and
epochs. These aspects make these data sets also valuable for investigations
into astronomical hazards for life on Earth. The Netherlands Research School
for Astronomy (NOVA) is a partner in several optical / near-infrared surveys.
In this paper we focus on the astronomical hazard value for two sets of those:
the surveys with the OmegaCAM wide-field imager at the VST and with the Euclid
Mission. For each of them we provide a brief overview of the astronomical
survey hardware, the data and the information systems. We present first results
related to the astronomical hazard investigations. We evaluate to what extent
the existing functionality of the information systems covers the needs for the
astronomical hazard investigations
