CSIRO Space & Astronomy Radio School 2023

Australia Telescope Compact Array, Narrabri

CSIRO Space and Astronomy will hold the 2023 Radio School in person at the Australia Telescope Compact Array near Narrabri, NSW from Monday 25th to Friday 29th September 2023, with on-line attendance also possible. The format of the school will be similar to previous Radio Schools, with a mix of lectures and practical hands-on sessions. Material will be presented by both radio astronomers and engineers. The lectures will cover both single dish telescopes and interferometers, however, the emphasis of this year's school will be on interferometry. The intended audience is postgraduate students and other interested researchers. No prior experience with radio astronomy is required. Attendees are strongly encouraged to consider attending in person to derive the most benefit of ease of access to and daily interactions with field experts, one-on-one interactions during hands-on tutorials, a guided tour of the telescopes, and building networks through planned social events. Online attendees will have access to a live stream of lectures. Both in-person and online attendees will be provided access to a recording of the lectures (for offline viewing) and a link to the tutorial material (on a best-effort basis). There is limited space for in-person attendance (allocated on a first-come-first-served basis), and therefore those that are planning to attend in-person are encouraged to register as early as possible. As of mid-August, we are currently at capacity and new registrants will be placed on a waitlist and contacted in case of cancellations.
