Gala
Generalized Alert Listener and Analyzer
Ingest non-Rubin alert streams and store events for crossmatch and coincidence workflows.
Gala ingests non-Rubin streams such as GCN and TNS and organizes events for multi-messenger analysis. Current work connects common alert schemas, PostgreSQL and YouCat storage, query interfaces, crossmatching and transient-dashboard integration.
