ASKAP Early Science Workshop - August 2013
 |
ASKAP Early Science is a program of observations designed to explore new scientific parameter-space with ASKAP before the construction of the array is complete. The early science program will consist of a series of science-focused observations, carried out by the ASKAP commissioning and early science team.
Community consultation on the scope of ASKAP early science is now taking place.
An all-day workshop on ASKAP Early Science will take place on 5 August 2013 between 9.30am and 4.30pm at the Marsfield headquarters of CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science. This workshop will provide a forum for astronomy community input into the ASKAP Early Science program. A full rationale for ASKAP early science (PDF, 3.0MB) is available.
Program
Talks are allotted 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions. A full list with abstracts is available (PDF, 0.1MB).
