2022 Australasian (Orange) Pulsar Workshop
1-2 November 2022 - CSIRO Parkes Obervatory
The Australasian "Orange" Pulsar Meeting is a fortnightly telecon among the Australasian pulsar community. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, an in-person workshop was held semi-regularly, bringing together theorists and observers to discuss the most recent developments in pulsar and FRB science. The last two years have seen significant challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic, but also significant progress in the community, driven by developments in facilities, instrumentation, computing resources, and progress toward realising the SKA.
We are once again holding an in-person Orange Workshop. The workshop will be held November 1-2 2022, at the CSIRO Parkes Observatory Visitors Centre. The workshop will be held in a hybrid format, cast via Cisco Webex for remote participants, and will consist of contributed presentations and discussion sessions. In-person attendees may have the opportunity to tour the telescope, subject to constraints from ongoing CryoPAF commissioning work occurring during the meeting. A daily coach between the Observatory and Parkes town centre will be available to assist attendees without a car.
In order to minimise the risk of COVID transmission at the workshop, we will require in-person attendees to wear masks while indoors, and to take a COVID test each day before attending the meeting. Further guidelines can be found in the COVID Risk Mitigation Strategy. All in-person attendees must read and abide by the COVID Risk Mitigation Strategy & Guidelines. All attendees must follow the workshop code of conduct.
