Timing and Imaging of compact sources with SKA pathfinders

Rationale

About every 5 years in the village of Kerastari in the ancient region of Arcadia in Greece experts in radio astronomy from all around the world meet to discuss their latest scientific discoveries and astronomical techniques.
See previous workshops in 2002, 2007, 2012, 2017.

The proposed next workshop to be help in person in Kerastari in 2022 will address the topic:
Timing and Imaging of compact sources with SKA pathfinders

The rationale for the topic is the clear and exciting cross-section between strains of research on compact sources, the ever more sensitive telescopes we are using to study them, and the growth in new techniques to obtain data of the highest quality. 2022 also marks the year in which construction of phase 1 of the Square Kilometre Array begins in earnest. We aim to bring together experts in Pulsars, Fast Radio Bursts, and other astrophysical transients, to discuss new results from the world's leading telescopes leading up to SKA, such as MeerKAT, ASKAP, LOFAR, CHIME, VLA and others, highlighting the key role of high-energy instruments and addressing the ever growing importance of multi-messenger astrophysics. On the technical side, we will concentrate on emerging techniques for timing and high time-resolution imaging, discuss new and promising algorithms for extracting information from the data, and address observing techniques with modern telescopes.

Initial details for the next workshop in 2022 are given in the accompanying First announcement.
