Help decode the assumptions behind GW simulations

Different astrophysical simulations make different assumptions about how stars evolve, exchange mass, explode, and form compact objects.

As a Grand Curator, your mission will be to help us map and organize these assumptions across the GROWL catalog.

You will:

investigate how different simulations are constructed

compare physical assumptions across models

help classify and organize formation scenarios

work with researchers, literature, LLM tools, and expert knowledge

help build structured metadata for the GROWL ecosystem

This project combines astrophysics, literature synthesis, data organization, and AI-assisted scientific analysis.

Want to help with this work?

Join Gravitational Wave Paleontology Lab’s community research group and contribute to real scientific work alongside the researchers who care most about answering these questions.

An approved starting point — where it goes from here follows your interests and what you find. Like any research project, it's free to grow, branch, or evolve into something of its own.
