OFFICIAL

Dear colleagues,

I’m pleased to announce that registration is now open for the Australasian “Orange” Pulsar & FRB workshop, held at ATNF Marsfield (and online) from May 5-7, 2026.

The Australasian “Orange” Pulsar Meeting is a fortnightly telecon, supplemented by occasional in‑person workshops, for the Australasian pulsar and FRB community that fosters collaboration between theorists, modellers, and observers. Following the successful 2022 Orange workshop at CSIRO’s Parkes Radio Observatory, we are excited to host the next in‑person meeting at the ATNF Marsfield Headquarters in Sydney from 5–7 May 2026. Online participation will be available for those unable to attend in person.

The workshop will take place at a time of progress and opportunity in pulsar and time‑domain radio astronomy. New instrumentation and facilities, including the CryoPAF on Murriyang, the Phase III upgrade of the MWA, and the ongoing development of the SKA, are expanding available discovery spaces. In parallel, the ATNF is exploring potential future Australian radio astronomy facilities for 2030 and beyond.

This workshop aims to bring the community together to share recent advances in pulsar and time‑domain science, discuss emerging scientific opportunities, and to provide input to future (radio) astronomy strategy.
