<div>Hi All, <br>
<br>
We are seeking community feedback on the services provided by </div>
<div>the Gravitational Wave Data Centre (GWDC) via a short survey (link below). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The GWDC is hosted at Swinburne University of Technology<br>
alongside the Swinburne node of the Astronomy Data and Computing<br>
Services (ADACS) team that has been providing a generalised data and<br>
computing service to the national astronomy community from early 2017. </div>
<div>It is funded from the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure </div>
<div>Strategy (NCRIS) with support from Astronomy Australia Limited (AAL). </div>
<div><br>
The primary aims of the GWDC are to provide the infrastructure, training<br>
and support to enable gravitational wave researchers nationally to lead<br>
the discovery of events from the latest data on an international scale<br>
and to maximise the scientific impact of these discoveries. Data<br>
coverage includes the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave<br>
Observatory (aLIGO) and Virgo detectors, pulsar timing data from the<br>
Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and precursor facilities, as well as any<br>
related simulation data. <br>
<br>
The GWDC has been operating for about two years now so we would like to seek<br>
feedback from you on how the GWDC has done to date and what it should<br>
focus on in the future. Our primary target audience is obviously the<br>
gravitational wave research community. However, we would welcome input<br>
from any astronomer who thinks they may have a need to interact with<br>
gravitational wave data and/or researchers in the future. We are<br>
interested in responses from those who have already used GWDC services<br>
and those who have not as yet. <br>
<br>
Please take the time to complete the survey which you can find here: </div>

</div>
<div class="_Entity _EType_OWALinkPreview _EId_OWALinkPreview _EReadonly_1"></div>
<br>
<div>We expect it will take about 10 minutes of your time.<br>
<br>
The survey closes Wednesday June 23rd. <br>
<br>
Please use gwdc-survey@adacs.org.au <mailto:gwdc-survey@adacs.org.au> if<br>
you have any queries related to the survey or encounter a technical issue. <br>
<br>
Thanks for your help.<br>
