The Portuguese ALMA CENTER of Expertise (PACE) on behalf of the Institute of Astronomy and Space Sciences, in collaboration with RadioNet and ESO, is glad to announce that an ALMA Data Processing Workshop will take place in Lisbon, December 5-7, 2017. The huge increase of the data available on the archive has improved enormously the [...]
The European Radio Interferometry School (ERIS) is a bi-annual graduate level school that forms a fundamental part of the training and development of young radio astronomers. This school is the seventh of a series of summer schools supported by RadioNet. The school offers both lectures and practical tutorials that are given by invited specialists in [...]
50 years ago Émile-Jacques Blum, Peter Mezger and Harry van der Laan had a vision of a meeting where young Europeans in radio astronomy could meet each other and exchange their experiences. The first Young European Radio Astronomers Conference (YERAC) was held in Paris in 1968, during the height of student and workers protests. Since [...]
The RadioNet Joint Research Activity RINGS (Radio Interferometry Next Generation Software) meets in Dwingeloo on 11 September 2017. RINGS partners from MPG, ASTRON, JIV-ERIC, UMAN, OSO, and DIAS start the work on the main objective for RINGS: To deliver advanced calibration algorithms for the next generation of radio astronomy facilities, characterized by a high sensitivity, a high bandwidth and [...]
Today started a second of a series of open meetings and workshops to allow the astronomical community to discuss and contribute to the future developments and operations of the UK’s National Radio Astronomy Facility, e-MERLIN and the European VLBI Network (EVN). The main purpose of the meeting is to inform the community of the existing and [...]
The International Pulsar Timing Array (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 [...]
The RadioNet coordinator Prof. J. Anton Zensus participates today in the conference "Research & Innovation – shaping our future", hosted by Research, Science and Innovation Commissioner Carlos Moedas. Policymakers from EU institutions, nearly 700 stakeholders and interested actors meet there to discuss the role of research and innovation for Europe's future. Follow live stream here: https://webcast.ec.europa.eu/research-innovation-shaping-our-future [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
About every 5 years in the village of Kerastari (Greece) experts in radio astronomy from all around the world meet to discuss their latest scientific discoveries and astronomical techniques. Today starts the workshop to explore how radio astronomy has enabled flexible processing environments that are opening new windows on the Universe (discovery of FRBs is [...]
