Necessity Is the Mother of Invention
Understanding of Complex Astrophysical Phenomena
Requires Complex and Information-Rich Data Sets,
and the Tools to Explore them …
… This Will Lead to
a Change in the nature

What is DM?
The search for interesting patterns,
in large databases,
that were collected for other applications,
using machine learning algorithms,
high-performance computers
and others methods
for science and society!

What is the coverage?
Where are the gaps?
Where do we go next?
Along each axis the measurements are characterized by the
position, extent, sampling and resolution. All astronomical
measurements span some volume in this parameter space.

How and Where are Discoveries Made?
 Conceptual Discoveries: e.g., Relativity, QM, Brane World, Inflation …
Theoretical, may be inspired by observations
 Phenomenological Discoveries: e.g., Dark Matter, QSOs, GRBs,
CMBR, Extrasolar Planets, Obscured Universe …
Empirical, inspire theories, can be motivated by them

Phenomenological Discoveries:
 Pushing along some parameter space axis
VO useful
 Making new connections (e.g., multi-)
VO critical!
Understanding of complex astrophysical phenomena requires
complex, information-rich data (and simulations?)

Exploration of the Time
Domain: Optical Transients
A Possible Example of an “Orphan
Afterglow” (GRB?) discovered in
DPOSS: an 18th mag transient
associated with a 24.5 mag galaxy.
At an estimated z ~ 1, the observed
brightness is ~ 100 times that of a
SN at the peak.
