SUMMARY:Australasian "Orange" Pulsar Workshop 2026
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nThe Australasian “Orange” Pulsar Meeting is a fortnightly telecon\, supplemented by occasional in‑person workshops\, for the Australasian pulsar and FRB community that fosters collaboration between theorists\, modellers\, and observers. Following the successful 2022 Orange workshop at CSIRO’s Parkes Radio Observatory\, we are excited to host the next  in‑person meeting at the ATNF Marsfield Headquarters in Sydney from 5–7 May 2026. Online participation will be available for those unable to attend in person. \n\nThe workshop will take place at a time of progress and opportunity in pulsar and time‑domain radio astronomy. New instrumentation and facilities\, including the CryoPAF on Murriyang\, the Phase III upgrade of the MWA\, and the ongoing development of the SKA\, are expanding available discovery spaces. In parallel\, the ATNF is exploring potential future Australian radio astronomy facilities for 2030 and beyond. \n\nThis workshop aims to bring the community together to share recent advances in pulsar and time‑domain science\, discuss emerging scientific opportunities\, and to provide input to future (radio) astronomy strategy. \n\nWorkshop schedule\n\nAustralasian_Orange_Workshop_2026_Sched_v2Download\n\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\nScience Organising Committee\n\n\nAndrew Zic (CSIRO)\n\n\n\nManisha Caleb (USyd)\n\n\n\nEmma Carli (Swinburne)\n\n\n\nJoscha Jahns-Schindler (Swinburne)\n\n\n\nBradley Meyers (AusSRC)\n\n\n\nNicholas O’Neill (UMelb)\n\n\n\nRyan Shannon (Swinburne)\n\n\n\nChia Min Tanh (Curtin)\n\n\nEvent details\n\n \nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia

SUMMARY:S&A Colloquium: Prof Yihua Yan (National Astronomical Observatories\, Chinese Academy of Sciences)
DESCRIPTION:Overview on Chinese Meridian Project – Solar and Heliospheric Radio Studies at Mingantu Observing Station\n\nAbstract: \n\nThe Chinese Meridian Project (CMP) is a Ground‐based Space Environment Monitoring Network which includes the Space Environment Monitoring System. The system adopts a well‐designed monitoring architecture\, known as “One Chain\, Three Networks\, and Four Focuses” to achieve stereoscopic and comprehensive monitoring of the entire solar-terrestrial space. The “One‐Chain” component utilizes optical\, radio\, interplanetary scintillation\, and cosmic ray instruments to cover the causal chain of space weather disturbances from the solar surface to near‐Earth space. For the ionosphere\, middle and upper atmosphere\, and geo-magnetic field\, instruments are deployed along longitudes of 120o and 100oE\, and latitudes of 30o and 40oN\, forming the “Three Networks”. Furthermore\, more powerful monitoring facilities or large‐scale instruments have been deployed in four key regions: the high-latitude polar region\, mid‐latitude region in northern China\, low‐latitude region at Hainan Island\, and the Tibet region. These four regions are crucial for disturbances propagation and evolution\, or possess unique geographical and topographical characteristics. \n\nThe Mingantu Observing Station\, which is located about 400km northwest of Beijing with the wide‐band spectral radioheliographs and the interplanetary scintillation telescopes\, constitutes a key component of CMP for tracking and monitoring solar eruptions from the Sun’s atmosphere into interplanetary space. Here we give an overview on CMP and introduce the progress on solar and heliospheric radio studies at Mingantu Observing Station. \n\nPlease note that the event timezone is AWST (UTC+8 hrs) \n\nLocation\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n \n\n\nEvent details\nDownload iCal\nCategory\nColloquia

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
