The NRAO is pleased to award the 2024 Karl G. Jansky Lectureship to Dr. Ken Kellermann, Senior Scientist, Emeritus at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. The Jansky Lectureship is an honor established by the trustees of AUI to recognize and celebrate outstanding contributions to the advancement of radio astronomy.

Ken earned his S.B. in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1959 and his Ph.D. in physics and astronomy at the California Institute of Technology under John Bolton in 1963, studying the radio spectra of galactic and extragalactic radio sources. He joined the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in 1965. He has served as NRAO's Acting Assistant Director for Green Bank Operations, as Chief Scientist, and as head of its New Initiatives Office.

Cycle 11 ALMA Events: Data Processing Workshops through November

To prepare the North American community to fully participate in the ALMA Call for Proposals, the North American ALMA Science Center (NAASC) organizes proposal preparation workshops in the months leading up to the proposal deadline. In addition, the North American community is encouraged to request to host ALMA proposal preparation workshops at their home institutions. These events are one to two day workshops organized and led by experienced local postdocs from the ALMA Ambassadors program and/or NAASC staff with a focus on the capabilities of ALMA, mm/submm interferometry observing techniques, and the tools required to design ALMA observing programs and submit proposals. For more information, contact naascinfo@nrao.edu.

A list of community outreach events from 2016 through the present is provided in the tables below. A list of events from other cycles is provided here.
