This project advances reproducibility in multi-messenger astrophysics by developing and sharing sustainable knowledge necessary to understand and use published scientific results. Specifically, the project targets breakthrough findings published by the First M87 Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and the Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER) projects. Understanding how reproducibility is incorporated in astrophysics workflows and sharing practices in reproducible scientific software help enable open science across disciplines. Codes, data, and workflows generated by this project enable researchers and students at various levels of education to regenerate the same findings, learn about the scientific methods, and engage in new science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research.The project provides the astrophysics community with a transformative building block to a roadmap for reproducible open science. Findings about the reproducibility process of the EHT and NICER results are captured and disseminated through documentation, data products, and methods used. Through new insights described in publications, the project delivers recommendations on how results in astrophysics can be effectively enhanced to provide reproducible, replicable, and shareable scientific discovery. The project findings enable scientists to reproduce published results beyond the targeted work and make the methods visible to a larger audience including STEM students; the new understating helps accelerate the pace of scientific discovery.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目通过开发和共享理解和使用已发表的科学成果所需的可持续知识，提高多信使天体物理学的可重复性。具体来说，该项目的目标是第一台 M87 事件视界望远镜 (EHT) 和中子星内部成分 ExploreR (NICER) 项目发表的突破性发现。了解如何将可重复性纳入天体物理学工作流程以及在可重复科学软件中共享实践有助于实现跨学科的开放科学。该项目生成的代码、数据和工作流程使不同教育水平的研究人员和学生能够重新得出相同的发现，了解科学方法，并从事新的科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 研究。该项目为天体物理学界提供了可重复开放科学路线图的变革性构建模块。关于 EHT 和 NICER 结果的再现性过程的发现通过文档、数据产品和所使用的方法来捕获和传播。通过出版物中描述的新见解，该项目就如何有效增强天体物理学成果以提供可重复、可复制和可共享的科学发现提出了建议。该项目的研究结果使科学家能够重现超出目标工作的已发表结果，并使包括 STEM 学生在内的更多受众都能看到这些方法；新的低调有助于加快科学发现的步伐。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
