From R.Wayth at curtin.edu.au Mon May 23 19:20:39 2022 From: R.Wayth at curtin.edu.au (Randall Wayth) Date: Mon, 23 May 2022 09:20:39 +0000 Subject: [ASA] Radio Astronomy postdoc position at ICRAR/Curtin Message-ID: <9DC09BB7-7397-4A4B-AE86-74F4B09A453A@curtin.edu.au> Dear ASA members, The Curtin University node of ICRAR is seeking a postdoctoral researcher (ALA/ALB) to join Curtin's diverse team, working within the Astronomical Instrumentation group and closely with the EoR science group, to build upon recent successes generating all-sky radio images using the "m-mode" technique. CIRA?s activities draw together academic research and professional staff from a variety of science, engineering, and computing disciplines to tackle unique and demanding challenges in radio astronomy. CIRA is the lead organisation and operator of the Murchison Widefield Array, and a key participant in the international Square Kilometre Array project. Please see the Curtin vacancies page for details, and share with your networks: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/FdaCCANpgjC9lkPOpHGUshx?domain=staff.curtin.edu.au Best regards, Randall From christian.wolf at anu.edu.au Tue May 24 10:44:40 2022 From: christian.wolf at anu.edu.au (Christian Wolf) Date: Tue, 24 May 2022 00:44:40 +0000 Subject: [ASA] GMT Community Science Meeting References: Message-ID: <5275ED5E-0765-499D-8824-21B76513D500@anu.edu.au> [A picture containing icon Description automatically generated] Registration is open for Black Holes at All Scales! This meeting is the 8th annual Community Science Meeting hosted by the Giant Magellan Telescope project and will take place August 31?September 2, 2022 at the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock in Sedona, AZ. The meeting is open to all with no registration fee. Partial travel reimbursement may be provided for graduate students and postdocs. The registration deadline is August 22, 2022, but there is a registration cap so don?t wait. Contributed talk abstracts are due by June 17. This meeting has been designed to bring together a cross-disciplinary group on black hole research. Revolutionary strategies for studying Black Holes ? from gravitational wave detection of merging black holes to imaging of event horizon scale regions. These discoveries have revolutionized the field while demonstrating how much remains to be learned about black hole demographics, formation and evolution, and interactions with their environment. This conference will focus on dynamics as a way to probe and learn about black holes across all mass scales, and topics will include the environment around Sgr A*, black hole mass measurements, demographics, rates for gravitational wave events, accretion disk dynamics around single and binary black holes, and tidal disruption events. Experts across this wide range of subfields will be brought together to canvass observational and theoretical progress, highlight key unanswered questions, and motivate future directions, particularly in the era of extremely large telescopes. The meeting program will encourage workshop-style discussion at a beautiful retreat in Sedona. Regardless of local masking requirements, we will require masks indoors and hold all poster sessions and meals outside. Please see the conference website for more information.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, The abstract submission deadline for the ACAMAR meeting on Astroparticle Physics is fast approaching, and has been extended slightly to 30 May (next Monday). Supported by ACAMAR (Australia-China Consortium for Astrophysical Research), this meeting aims to bring together the Chinese and Australian astroparticle physics communities to review and discuss a variety of topics within this growing field at the intersection of astrophysics and particle physics. We specifically encourage PhD students and early career researchers to present their ongoing and emerging projects in the field of astroparticle physics (at the interface of astrophysics and particle physics). Registration and abstract submission can be made at the website below https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/00wYCvl1rKiW2EmXYhQYnVz?domain=astropart-acamar.casconf.cn All the best, Gavin (for the ACAMAR Astoparticle Physics Meeting SOC) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gavin Rowell ph +61883138374 High Energy Astrophysics Group fax +61883134380 School of Physical Sciences email: gavin.rowell at adelaide.edu.au University of Adelaide 5005, AUSTRALIA web: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/LA3_CwV1vMfLAvMpqFq2Aay?domain=researchers.adelaide.edu.au --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Do you want to know how to better manage your own datasets? Do you want to know more about the Virtual Observatory and what it can do for you? If the answer to any of these questions is YES, then put 15-16 June 2022 in your calendar for the Optical Data Centre/Data Central workshop! The workshop will run for two half days in Australian and NZ friendly timezones, with presentations, demonstrations and tutorials that will show you what facilities we provide, but also how you can access data from the AAT Archive, and the ESO and SkyMapper TAP services, along with all the data that Data Central hosts. We will also describe how you can manage your data so that others can get the most out of it. Please email us at admin at datacentral.org.au to express interest in the workshop.
