Distinguished visitor program
Around the time of the IAU General Assembly, we enjoyed the company of several visitors who extended their stay in Australia under the auspices of the ATNF and Federation Fellow distinguished visitor program.
They were Joe Taylor (Princeton University, USA), V. Radhakrishnan (Raman Research Institute, India), Rajaram Nityananda (NCRA, India), S. Ananthakrishnan (GMRT, India), Ken Kellerman (NRAO, USA) and Jayanne English (University of Manitoba, Canada). Currently we also have Ned Ladd (Bucknell University, USA) visiting the ATNF and University of New South Wales for a year, and are shortly expecting Brent Tully (Institute for Astronomy, Hawaii) for a few weeks.
Whilst in Australia, most visitors are encouraged to give colloquia at University departments. The visitors program is now chaired by the Director, and prospective visitors are advised to get in touch with their staff collaborator or the Director. Details can be found at www.atnf.csiro.au/people .
