Multimessenger Astronomy and Astrophysics Synergies
  A budget neutral strategy is proposed for NSF to lead the implementation of
multimessenger astronomy and astrophysics, as outlined in the Astro2010 Decadal
Survey. The emerging capabilities for simultaneous measurements of physical and
astronomical data through the different windows of electromagnetic, hadronic
and gravitational radiation processes call for a vigorous pursuit of new
synergies. The proposed approach is aimed at the formation of new
collaborations and multimessenger data-analysis, to transcend the scientific
inquiries made within a single window of observations. In view of budgetary
constraints, we propose to include the multimessenger dimension in the ranking
of proposals submitted under existing NSF programs.
