announcement

The Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie (MPIfR) is recruiting up to two postdoctoral researchers in radio astronomy. These positions are based in the Radio Astronomy/VLBI department led by Prof. J. Anton Zensus. The department has a broad research portfolio. Research topics focus on the investigation of compact extragalactic objects (AGN) and their broad-band emission, with a special emphasis on very-high-resolution studies.  These [...]

High Energy Astrophysics meeting Panchromatic Transients in the 2020’s will take place in Airlie Resort and Conference Center, Warrenton, VA, April 28-30, 2020. Since its launch in November 2004, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has provided a unique suite of multi-wavelength instruments to both discover and follow-up a wide range of transients and variable sources. To [...]

The Call for Proposals for the East Asian VLBI Network for the 2020A semester is open. From the 2020A semester, CfP for the KVN and VERA Array (KaVA) is merged into the EAVN CfP. Please refer to the EAVN website for more details about the array's specification, available observation modes, and how to submit proposals.

The World’s Eye on the Sky SKA-VLBI Key Science Projects and Operations Workshop The VLBI community proposed to make the phase I SKA telescopes available for global VLBI observations. The VLBI Science Working Group for the SKA, with support from the EC-funded JUMPING JIVE project, worked out the technical requirements and defined the interfaces needed for realising SKA-VLBI. The [...]
