SUMMARY:S&A Colloquium: Georgios Paraschos (University of Turku)
DESCRIPTION:Shocks\, polarisation\, and high-energy emission: Probing black hole jets from VLBI to IXPE\n\nAbstract: \n\nRelativistic jets launched by accreting supermassive black holes are fundamental drivers of feedback in galaxies\, yet the location and mechanisms responsible for high- energy γ-ray emission remain uncertain. I will present recent multimessenger studies combining VLBI imaging\, IXPE X-ray and optical polarimetry\, γ-ray monitoring\, and neutrino observations of blazars undergoing major flaring events. These coordinated campaigns reveal shock–shock interactions in the parsec-scale jet\, conditions favourable for hadronic emission\, and γ-ray production occurring well downstream of the central engine. I will discuss these results in the context of our broader efforts with the Event Horizon Telescope to directly probe the physical conditions governing jet formation and high-energy radiation near supermassive black holes. Finally\, I will touch upon the collaborative work planned with colleagues at the ATNF. \nJoin Event on Microsoft Teams\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia

SUMMARY:FLASH Splash: Celebrating the completion of observations
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nCSIRO invites our ATNF colleagues and collaborators to celebrate the ASKAP radio telescope’s completion of observations for the FLASH survey. \n\nFLASH (First Large Absorption Survey in HI)\, looks for areas where a bright background light filters through hydrogen gas to analyse the gas’ characteristics. With hydrogen gas the raw material from which new stars are formed\, the completion of these observations is a major milestone in our understanding of galaxy evolution. \n\nJoin us as we recognise the dedication of the scientists\, engineers\, and support staff throughout CSIRO and the FLASH team who made this achievement possible. \n\nThe event will include a brief overview of the survey’s journey and early highlights\, followed by refreshments and an opportunity to reflect on the science enabled – and the discoveries still to come. \n\nWe acknowledge the Wajarri Yamaji as the Traditional Owners and Native Title Holders of the Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara\, our Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory site\, where ASKAP is located. \n\nDetails \n\nWhen: 14 May 2026 \n\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:45pm AEST / 11:00am – 12:45pm AWST \n\nLocation: Marsfield (Lecture Theatre)\, Kensington (Auditorium)\, Geraldton (MSF Conference Room)  \nRegister\nPlease refer to the event’s webpage for further details  \n\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia

SUMMARY:S&A Colloquium: Xiaohui Sun (Yunnan University)
DESCRIPTION:Study of Galactic multi-scale magnetic field with radio polarization observation\n\nAbstract: \n\nRadio polarization observation provides an important way to study Galactic magnetic field from small to large scales. All-sky polarization surveys with broad frequency coverage are well suited for the study. In this talk\, I present recent studies on supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae from ASKAP and ATCA observations. I will then present the results from the STAPS survey conducted with Murriyang and ongoing FAST observations. To the low frequency end\, the polarization images from MWA reveal large-scale structures likely originated from local interstellar medium. I will conclude the talk with a perspective with future SKA. \nJoin Event on Microsoft Teams\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia

SUMMARY:2026 Radio School
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nThe ATNF Radio School 2026 is an immersive training program designed for PhD students\, postdoctoral researchers and early career astronomers who want to build solid foundations in radio interferometry and hands-on data skills. Hosted by CSIRO’s Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) at the Paul Wild Observatory on Gomeroi Country\, near Narrabri\, NSW\, this year’s school blends core theory with practical calibration and imaging tutorials at one of Australia’s premier radio astronomy facilities. The site is home to our Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). \n\nOver the course of the week\, participants will learn the fundamentals of radio interferometry\, antenna calibration\, data flagging and imaging through a mix of expert-led lectures and interactive\, practical sessions. Unique to 2026\, the program will feature tutorials making use of ATCA’s new Broadband Integrated GPU Correlator (BIGCAT)\, the next-generation correlator system that significantly expands ATCA’s instantaneous bandwidth and data flexibility\, giving attendees early experience with cutting-edge correlator operations and data pipelines.  \n\nThe 2026 Radio School is aimed at PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in astronomy. The Radio School offers a supportive environment to engage deeply with real interferometric data\, develop essential calibration and imaging workflows\, and connect with leaders in the field. No prior experience with radio astronomy is required. \n\nFor those students who are unable to attend the Radio School in-person in Narrabri\, a virtual option will be available for the lectures. \n\nInformation regarding the 2026 Radio School can be found on the School’s webpage. \nRegister\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal
