This conference is designed to highlight and explore the novel scientific opportunities that will unfold with the unprecedented angular resolution and sensitivity capabilities offered by this new facility.

A variety of oral presentations and posters will be featured, with a special focus on the new science that will be possible at high angular resolution; the ngVLA will allow, for the first time, the detection of thermal emission at 1 mas angular scales, as well as unprecedented high fidelity imaging of non-thermal emission on scales less than 1 mas. Researchers within and beyond radio astronomy expertise are invited to engage in discussions, share insights, and start to plan the groundbreaking science that the ngVLA will make possible. We particularly encourage the participation of early-career scientists, who will be the major users of this observatory.

Abstracts for contributed oral presentations will be considered until July 8, 2024

==>> !!! UPDATE !!! July 29, 2024 <<==  

The program will be announced by August 15, 2024.

Contributed abstracts not selected for an oral presentation will be optionally assigned to present a poster. Abstracts for poster presentations will be accepted until September 1, 2024. Poster presenters will have the opportunity to present 1 digital summary-slide advertising their poster during the meeting, besides the time provided for poster viewing. All poster presenters, regardless of attendance preference, will have the opportunity to upload a PDF version of their poster on our digital platform in advance of the conference dates.

We are soliciting abstracts for both oral and poster presentations around the following key ngVLA Science Working Groups (SWGs):

  • SWG1: Stars, Planetary Systems, and their Origins
  • SWG2: Astrochemistry and the Molecular Emergence of Life
  • SWG3: Galaxies and Galaxy Evolution
  • SWG4: Pulsars, Cosmology, and Fundamental Physics
  • SWG5: Exploring the Dynamic Universe 

In addition to the topics listed above, we welcome abstracts that may not easily fit into one of these sub-fields, but are of interest within the overall topic of the meeting. For such abstracts, the authors should list their topic as "Other."

Connect with NRAO

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

Founded in 1956, the NSF NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NSF NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NSF 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. NSF NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (U.S. 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..."

AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
