The Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF) invites scientists to participate in the call for proposals of observing time at the three national radio telescopes: - the 32-m Medicina antenna (Grueff Radio Telescope) - the 32-m Noto antenna - the 64-m Sardinia Radio Telescope Two observing semesters are scheduled every year: 1st January to 30th June, [...]
Within the framework of the ACME project, JIVE is organising the fourth online training sessions designed to support first-time users of the European VLBI Network (EVN). During these sessions, participants will be guided through key aspects such as proposal preparation, observation planning, and scheduling. Each session will conclude with an open discussion. No prior experience [...]
Astronomers have discovered that some of the Universe’s fastest-spinning stars, millisecond pulsars, broadcast radio waves from much farther out than previously thought. Studying nearly 200 pulsars, the team found that about one-third emit radio signals from multiple regions, with some pulses perfectly lining up with gamma-ray flashes. This suggests that radio waves are produced not [...]
The call aims to support research visits to European institutes that provide direct training and expert guidance in multi-messenger astronomy. The program covers all ACME domains, including gravitational waves, neutrinos, cosmic rays, and photons across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from very-high-energy gamma rays to X-rays, UV, optical, near-infrared, and radio bands. The goal is to [...]
Dear colleagues, We are pleased to share the second announcement of the XI European Radio Interferometry School (ERIS 2026), which will take place 7-11 September 2026 in Noto, Sicily (Italy). LECTURES ERIS 2026 will offer a full week of lectures and practical hands-on sessions designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to radio interferometry. The program [...]
The 13th IRAM Millimeter Interferometry School will be held September 28 – October 3, 2026 at the Hotel Mercure Centre Porte des Alpes in Grenoble/France. It is intended for PhD students, post-docs and scientists who want to acquire knowledge of interferometry and data reduction techniques at millimeter wavelengths. Special emphasis will be put on the [...]
The European VLBI Network organizes a series of talks focusing on the capabilities of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and its significant contributions to different astronomical fields. These seminars cover various science topics with different speakers and provide an insightful introduction to cutting-edge research designed for the wider astronomical community. Next Seminar Thursday 12 March [...]
The Registration and Abstract Submission is now OPEN for the 17th European VLBI Network Symposium and Users' Meeting to be held at The University of Manchester, United Kingdom, from the 14th to 18th September 2026. The EVN Symposium is the main forum for discussion of the latest Very Long Baseline Interferometry scientific results and technical and technological developments within the EVN member countries. The purpose [...]
Using the NIKA2 camera on IRAM’s 30-meter telescope, astronomers have achieved a new sensitivity record, uncovering a massive structure of dust-rich, intensely star-forming galaxies in the early Universe - just one billion years after the Big Bang. The NIKA2 Cosmological Legacy Survey (N2CLS) revealed galaxies forming stars up to 1000 times faster than the Milky [...]
An international team led by Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy used ALMA observations to reveal how massive elliptical galaxies may form extremely rapidly in the early Universe. Studying the protocluster SPT2349‑56, just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang, they observed dozens of gas-rich galaxies merging in a cosmic “firework,” with four central galaxies [...]
