NRAO Community Day at the WM

Date: October 9, 2013 (tentative)
Time: tbdAM - tbdPM
Location: TBD

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) cordially invites you to a NRAO Community Event at University of Wisconsin-Madison on October 9 (tentative). 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 half a day long. We will provide an overview of the NRAO facilities, have a brief discussion of mm interferometry and CASA and an overview of the proposal preparation and submission processes. There will also be a hands on session to prepare proposals for the upcoming ALMA Cycle 2 deadline.

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.
