Meaningful roles for every level
Whether you are a curious member of the public, a citizen scientist, a professional researcher, or an engineer — there is a bounded, scientifically useful role for you. We do not gamify dramatic conclusions.
General public
Explore the sky
Browse the all-sky map, read candidate records, and follow the evidence trail from raw observation to current status. No account required.
Open sky viewGeneral public
Read the atlas
Study the candidate atlas. Each record includes the full evidence chain, natural-source tests, interference rejection, and replication status.
Open atlasCitizen scientist
Reproduce an analysis
Download a versioned dataset and analysis configuration. Run the pipeline yourself and compare your results to the published output.
Coming in Phase 1Citizen scientist
Join a research challenge
When announced, research challenges provide a bounded dataset, a specific question, and a submission format. Results are reviewed and published.
No active challengesEngineer / developer
Build an archive adapter
Write a connector for a public astronomical archive. Adapters must declare rights, license, coverage, and provenance fields. SDK in Phase 1.
Coming in Phase 1Engineer / developer
Contribute to the platform
The platform codebase will be open-sourced in Phase 1. Contributions to the sky view, analysis pipeline, and adapter SDK are welcome.
Coming in Phase 1Professional researcher
Submit an observation
Submit a provenance-rich observation or dataset for inclusion in the atlas. Submissions are reviewed before publication. Full provenance required.
Contact usProfessional researcher
Propose a collaboration
If you have a dataset, instrument access, or analysis capability relevant to the SETImap research program, reach out to discuss a bounded collaboration.
Contact usWHAT WE VALUE
We do not gamify dramatic conclusions
Reward rigor, not drama
We do not reward dramatic conclusions. We reward careful methodology, honest uncertainty, and reproducible results.
Reproducibility first
Every analysis is versioned and documented. Independent replication is required before any candidate advances in status.
Publish corrections
Errors and retractions are published with the same prominence as original findings. Correction is a feature, not a failure.
Negative results count
A careful non-detection is a scientific contribution. Coverage maps and sensitivity estimates are published alongside candidate records.
