The International Pulsar Timing Array – IPTA 2017

IPTA is a world wide collaboration, made of the contributions of three continental consortia: EPTA in Europe, PPTA in Australia and NanoGRAV in the US. Its primary goal is to detect gravitational waves in the Nanohertz regime using radio pulsar timing observations. The European part of the collaboration is supported by RadioNet since its foundation in Autumn [...]

HI absorption 2017: a workshop on the status of and preparation for the upcoming surveys

One of the ways to explore gas in the Universe is using HI absorption observations. The new radio telescopes -ASKAP, MeerKAT and Apertif on the WSRT- offer exciting new possibilities for science using HI absorption. Coordinating the groups planning to exploit these data was one of the motives for a small but very lively workshop [...]

Polarised Emission from Astrophysical Jets

Today starts a  meeting  focuses on current polarimetric monitoring programs, as well as high angular resolution interferometric observations, and prospects for new facilities (i.e., ALMA, SKA, EHT, XIPE, e-ASTROGAM). This conference aims at a comprehensive coverage of the theoretical and observational aspects related to linearly and circularly polarized emission observed from extragalactic (AGN, GRBs) as [...]
