Registration Instructions for Subscribers to GWIC 3G Science Case Team Working Groups


How to Register for the GWIC 3G SCT Working Groups

Anyone may join the GWIC 3G Science Case Team Collaboration, however, joining in itself does not provide access to anything. The Collaboration consists of members of the the GWIC 3G Science Team, which is a closed group, and members of various working groups, which are open. Below, we outline the steps for joining the Collaboration.

N.B.If you are already a member of the GWIC 3G Science Case Team or have already joined some GWIC 3G SCT working groups, then you are already a member of this collaboration and do not have to join again! Collaboration members can jump immediately to the section below entitled "How to Join the GWIC 3G SCT Working Groups".

Steps:

  1. Go to https://gw-astronomy.org/registry/pages/public/enroll. Select 'GWIC 3G SCT Working Group Enrollment'. You will be prompted to login. There are a variety of login options. If you are a member of LIGO/VIRGO or KAGRA, you can login by selecting the apprpriate icon.

    Alternatively, you may be able to use your university, college or lab login id (if it seems strange to you to login to a service at gw-astronomy.org using your username and password from your university, click here for more information on how and why we do that). To see the full list of places whose login IDs we accept, click on the "Allow me to pick from a list" link

    and then look for your institution in the pull down list above that link

    If you want to know why your institution wasn't in the menu, you can read more here.

  2. Once you have successfully logged in, please jump to step 5.
  3. If you have not been able to login with your LIGO, KAGRA or home institution login id, you may still use a Google account login to register. You can use one that you already have, or create a new one. There are instructions for creating a Google account at https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/27441?source=gsearch. You can find out more about why we use Google as our backup login plan here.
  4. Once you have a Google login id and password with which to register for gw-astronomy.org, please return to step 1 and click the Google icon.
  5. Now that you are logged in, you can register. Click the begin button to start.

  6. Fill out the form. In most cases, much of the information will already be filled out by your organization and cannot be changed. Once you are done, submit the form.

  7. After you submit your application, you will be sent an email confirming your address. Follow the link to the URL provided to complete your registration.

  8. Once your registration is complete, you will be able to join working groups and receive email from the working group mailing lists. See the instructions in the next section below.

Once you are registered for the GWIC 3G SCT collaboration, you can join working groups, which will automatically subscribe you to the mailing list for those groups. The groups and mailing lists are as follows:

Working Group Name Co-Chairs list-address@gw-astronomy.org
Extreme Gravity Buonanno, Van Den Broeck gwic-3g-xg
NS EoS and NS Pops Papa, Reddy, Rosswog gwic-3g-ns
Compact Binaries Bailes, Kalogera, Mandel gwic-3g-binaries
Seed Black Holes Colpi, Fairhurst gwic-3g-bh
Supernovae Bizouard, Burrows gwic-3g-sn
Cosmology and Cosmography Mandic, Sathya gwic-3g-cosmo
Numerical and Analytic Relativity Buonanno, Lehner gwic-3g-nrar
Detector Networks Evans, Fairhurst, Hild gwic-3g-net
Mult-Messenger Observations Bailes, Kasliwal gwic-3g-mmo

To join a working group, simply follow the steps below:

  1. Begin by going to the list of groups for GWIC 3G SCT Collaboration here. The page should look like this:

    You will see a number of working groups to join. You will also see other groups which are marked "Closed". These are groups for administration or other purposes. Working groups are all marked as "Open", meaning you can join them.
  2. To join a working group, all you need to do is check the "Member" box.

    There is also an "Owner" box. You will not be able to check those. When a box is checked, you are automatically subscribed to the mailing list for the working group. You can join as many working groups as you would like. You can also leave a working group by unchecking the "Member" box for that group. This will automatically unsubscribe you from the mailing list for that group.
  3. If you have any difficulty, please do not hesitate to contact the GW-Astro Help Desk.
