The RadioNet Technical Dissemination Workshop “New Trends in Radio Astronomy Instrumentation” will take place at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, 21-22 September 2020. It will focus on discussing future trends and presenting new ideas. Eventpage
Final Announcement of the COSPAR 2020 E1.17:“The space view of radio galaxies”, 43rd COSPAR Scientific Assembly, Sydney, Australia, 15-23 August 2020. With highly energetic relativistic jets that sometimes reach a few Megaparsecs, radio galaxies are fundamental actors in theories of black hole growth and downsizing, and in the evolution of their host galaxies. This event is [...]
The 6th LOFAR Data Processing School will take place at ASTRON, 21-25 September 2020. The registration will open at the beginning of March. The aim of this School is to introduce the LOFAR system to new members of the community who will analyze both interferometric and high time resolution beam formed LOFAR data. Hands-on sessions will [...]
RadioNet is co-sponsoring the 15th European VLBI Network Symposium, “Providing the Sharpest View of the Universe,” and the EVN Users Meeting, hosted by University College Cork (Ireland) on behalf of the EVN Consortium Board of Directors. The meeting will take place on July 6-10, 2020. This biennial meeting is the main forum for discussion of [...]
Observations using 21 telescopes of the European VLBI Network (EVN) have revealed that a cosmic explosion, called AT2018cow most likely formed a neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field - known as a magnetar. The high-resolution radio images produced in this new study show physical properties of the stellar remnant that make alternative explanations [...]
The technique of radio interferometry is an essential tool for modern radio astronomy. Interferometry made the Event Horizon Telescope image of M87* possible, but it is widely used in radio astronomy to improve angular resolution compared to that achievable with a single aperture, to increase sensitivity, improve astrometric precision, and control systematics. This webinar aims [...]

Special session SS6 “Multiwavelength polarization of blazar jets”, on June 20 at the EAS2020 in Leiden. Blazars are among the most intriguing and consistently bright objects in the observable Universe. They are the most extreme class of active galactic nuclei with powerful relativistic jets that can extend out to kpc-scales from the central engine. Despite [...]
RadioNet is co-sponsor of the North-European Radio Astronomy School 2020, organized by Finnish Centre for Astronomy with ESO (FINCA), University of Turku Department of Physics and Astronomy, and Aalto University Metsähovi Radio Observatory. It will be held in May 25-29, 2020 at Solvalla national sports center in Nuuksio national park in Southern Finland. The school [...]
Special Session “Registering the Universe at the highest spatial accuracy” will take place on June 29, 2020 at the EAS2020 in Leiden. Scope is to highlight the scientific impact of combining high spatial resolution (VLBI) radio data with information from multi-wavelength and/or multi-messenger observations. The session covers a wide range of astronomical topics, as well [...]
