[ASA] Ultra-wide-bandwidth Low Frequency Receiver Observer Training

[Green, Jimi (CASS, Kensington WA)]

For those interested in observing with the CSIRO Parkes Radio telescope:

The Parkes Telescope has undergone a number of changes from the user perspective recently with the advent of the new ultra-wide-bandwidth receiver (UWL) and its associated systems (such as the new control interface, DHAGU, and the backend, MEDUSA). As such we will have three observer training workshops next month, March 2020, ahead of the new semester starting in April (2020APRS).

The training sessions are scheduled as follows:

Friday 13th March 2020 9am-12pm AWST (UTC+8) at the ARRC Building in Kensington, Perth, WA

Monday 16th March 2020 2pm-5pm AEDT (UTC+11) at Swinburne University, Melbourne, VIC

Thursday 19th March 2020 9am-12pm AEDT (UTC+11) at CASS Marsfield, Sydney, NSW

To express interest in attending one of these sessions, either in person, or remotely, please complete the form here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/zbzvCK1qJZt22JxnNUMR_eQ?domain=forms.gle
and you will receive further details for the relevant session soon. If the form does not work from your country, please email your expression of interest directly to me.

The sessions will involve presentations on the capabilities of the receiver, the new interfaces, and then practical time for people to generate observing schedules and troubleshoot.

To note we will also host a data reduction workshop later in the year dedicated to reducing and analysing the new UWL data.

Kind regards,

Jimi
