NRAO Community Day - MIT Haystack 2023

NRAO Community Day at MIT Haystack

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and ALMA Ambassadors cordially invite you to an NRAO Community Day and ALMA Proposal Workshop at MIT Haystack on April 3 and 4, 2023. 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 provide an overview of NRAO instruments (VLA, VLBA, ALMA) including new capabilities, a brief discussion of interferometry, data reduction, pipelines, and an overview of the proposal preparation and submission processes. In the afternoon of the second day there will be a hands-on session to prepare proposals for the upcoming ALMA Cycle 10 deadline. Lunch will be provided for registered participants.

The registration will open soon.
