The NRAO and the ngVLA Project will convene a Special Session on 7 January 2020 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. Titel: The Scientific Quest for High Angular Resolution. This Special Session will highlight recent scientific breakthroughs enabled by imaging at high angular resolution. More information here.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) is the world’s most sensitive facility for millimeter/submillimeter astronomical observations, and will soon be fully operational in all of the originally planned bands. Since its first observations, ALMA has routinely delivered groundbreaking scientific results that span nearly all areas of astrophysics. Following conferences in Puerto Varas (Chile, 2012), Tokyo (Japan, 2014), and Indian Wells (USA, 2016), the ALMA partnership is [...]
My research field deals with the formation of high mass stars. I am interested in the role of already formed high mass stars (and their associated ionized - HII - regions) on the possible formation of a new generation of (high mass) stars. The many available infrared and submillimetre surveys have revealed the important of [...]
An international team of researchers led by Silke Britzen from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, studied high-resolution radio observations of the source between 2009 and 2018, before and after the neutrino event. The results are published in „Astronomy & Astrophysics“, October 02, 2019. Read the article here

The workshop will be held in Catania, Sicily, 18 - 20 December 2019. The main goals of this year's workshop are: update on the Gaia mission, update on the improvements in the Gaia Alerts, Gaia Alerts highlights and results, synergies with radio, X-ray and high energy surveys, new members of the telescope network, new photometric calibration [...]
30.3 - 1.4.2020 / Hotel Le Saint Paul, Nice/FR. The conference aims to bring together scientists from a wide interdisciplinary community to address recent advances, current challenges and future directions in the field. The conference will feature three days of contributed and invited talks as well as posters on the topic of multi-line observations, analysis [...]
The Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) 12 m submillimeter telescope has significantly contributed to a wide variety of astronomy science areas, ranging from the discoveries of new molecules to large-scale and deep imaging of the submillimeter sky. Since 2012, every other year, the Ringberg APEX workshops bring together APEX users and other interested scientists working on [...]
The 100-m radio telescope of the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie and the data reduction facilities are available to all qualified scientists. The present policy allows the allocation of up to 40% of available observing time to external astronomers. The directors of the institute make observing time available to applicants based on the recommendations of the Program [...]
