NRAO Live! Event at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst

NRAO Live! Event at the McGill University

Date: Mar 4, 2016
Time: 9am - 5pm
Location: Stockbridge Hall rm 124

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory cordially invites you to a live event at UMass Amherst. This event is designed for all astronomers, and in particular for those who do not regularly utilize radio data in their research. The workshop will be one to two days long, with an overview of the NRAO facilities, have a brief discussion of mm interferometry and an overview of the proposal preparation and submission processes. In the afternoon there will be a hands on session to prepare proposals for the upcoming ALMA Cycle 4 deadline. If there is time, on the second day we will dive into interferometric data taken with ALMA and use CASA to reduce and analyze the data. Lunch will be provided for registered participants on the first day.

Registration is free, but we'd greatly appreciate it if you could sign up before March 1 so that we have an accurate count for lunches!

We look forward to seeing you in Amherst!

-Alison Peck, Sabrina Stierwalt and Min Yun (organizers)

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory and Green Bank Observatory are facilities of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."
