YERAC 2018
The 48th YERAC will bring together early-career scientists in the field of radio astronomy to present and discuss their research. It is aimed at PhD-level researchers, though more junior scientists or recent graduates will be considered in exceptional cases. The programme consists of mandatory talks by the participants. In addition, there will be daily scientific [...]
10th IRAM millimeter interferometry school – Announcement
The 10th IRAM millimeter interferometry school will be held October 1st - 05th 2018 at the IRAM headquarters in Grenoble/France and is co-sponsored by the RadioNet project. It is intended for students, post-docs and scientists who want to acquire a good knowledge of interferometry and data reduction techniques at millimeter wavelengths, with a special emphasis [...]
RadioNet Board & Advisory Group meeting 20 March 2018 Berlin
The annual meeting of the RadioNet Board was held on March 20th, 2018 in the Harnack House of the Max Planck Society in Berlin. At the beginning of the meeting, the RadioNet Coordinator, Anton Zensus, summarized to project status after one year. He stressed the purpose of the collaboration, namely to create a coherent and [...]
High Resolution Surveying with International LOFAR
March 19-23, 2018, at Lorenz Center in Leiden, this workshop brings together experts and interested radio astronomers to learn how to produce high resolution images with the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) and to discuss and finalize the details for implementing a pipeline to do this on a large scale to post-process already existing observations. During [...]
Workshop: Submillimetre Single-dish Data Reduction and Array Combination Techniques
On 15/16. March 2018, this workshop at ESO in Garching/DE will cover both line and continuum data, and will consist of introductory lectures followed by hands-on tutorial sessions on ALMA single-dish data reduction in CASA, spectral line reduction of submm data in CLASS, bolometer software for APEX instruments (BoA for LABOCA, Scanarmorphose for ArTeMiS), and [...]
Galaxy interactions and mergers across cosmic time
In the workshop Galaxy interactions and mergers across cosmic time in Sexten/IT (11-16 March 2018), open questions relevant to the role of mergers in galaxy evolution, both near and far, are being discussed. Firstly, the focus is on how to best identify a merger, both observationally and in cosmological simulations. Next focus is quantifying the impact of interactions on [...]
OPTICON: 9TH VLTI SUMMER SCHOOL, 9-14 July 2018 in Lisbon
By combining the light from four telescopes, the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) delivers angular resolution at milli-arcsecond scale and astrometry at tens of micro-arcsecond. The available instrumentation covers the H to N-band with low to moderately high spectral resolution. Given that long-baseline optical interferometry observing techniques are still not widespread in [...]
