Donc zooniverse c'est un site qui regroupe plusieurs projets dans toutes sciences confondues. Ces projets sont en général des quantités de données énormes à traiter, mais si vous divisez ça en plusieurs petits bouts et que vous traitez ces petits bouts indépendamment, alors par vous gagnez un temps énorme sur le traitement de ces données. Ces petits bouts sont à traiter par les internautes eux mêmes et tout le monde peut participer. Je vous laisse regarder ces vidéos pour en savoir plus :
Et donc voici quelques projets de zooniverse reliés à l'astronomie :
Planet Four : pour travailler sur Mars et son pôle sud
https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/msc ... lanet-four
Planet Four is a citizen science project designed to help planetary scientists identify and measure features on the surface of Mars . . . the likes of which don’t exist on Earth. All of the images on this site depict the southern polar region, an area of Mars that we know little about, and the majority of which have never been seen by human eyes before!
Gravity-Spy : pour travailler sur la classification des glitchs des détecteurs d'ondes gravitationnelles
https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/zoo ... ravity-spy
LIGO is the most sensitive and complicated gravitational experiment ever built. To detect gravitational waves even from the strongest events in the Universe, LIGO needs to be able to know when the length of its 4-kilometer arms change by a distance 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of a proton! This makes LIGO susceptible to a great deal of instrumental and environmental sources of noise. Of particular concern are transient, poorly modeled artifacts known by the LIGO community as glitches. Though the reason for having two detectors separated by thousands of miles is to isolate the detectors from common sources of noise, glitches happen frequently enough that they often can be coincident in the two detectors and can mimic astrophysical signals. Classifying and characterizing glitches is imperative in the effort to target and eliminate these artifacts, paving the way for more astrophysical signals to be detected.
Supernova Hunters : pour travailler sur la détection de supernovæ
https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/dwr ... va-hunters
With Supernova Hunters we aim to discover lots of new explosions and pass them on to the wider astronomical community. But finding supernovae isn't easy. We expect to observe about one supernova per galaxy every few centuries. So to find lots of supernovae we need to look at many galaxies at once. Pan-STARRS1 is great for this. Due to the large camera, the telescope has a field-of-view that covers about the same area as the full moon. This allows the telescope to scan large areas of the sky each night imaging many galaxies. Supernovae are also extremely bright and can out-shine all the other billions of stars that make up their galaxy. This means that we can discover distant supernovae even if we don't see the galaxy hosting the supernova.
