First Mexican meeting en route to the Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) 

Details

The ngVLA, led by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), will be the largest radio interferometer ever built in the northern hemisphere.

With more than 200 antennas distributed across the US, Canada, and Mexico, the array will reach spatial resolutions and sensitivities without precedents. Importantly, the new radio telescope aspires to give access to the worldwide scientific community and to provide science-ready scientific products.

To promote and drive the participation of Mexico in the ngVLA, the Institute of Radio Astronomy and Astrophysics (IRyA-UNAM) is inviting the community to a kick-start meeting! A variety of invited and contributed talks will be presented, focusing on the design and performance aspects of the telescope and its relevance to astronomy through the main scientific drivers.

For a full scientific rationale please visit the meeting website, where you can register and additionally submit abstracts for contributions. There will be partial support for students and postdocs.

Meeting to be held in the UNAM Campus Morelia from 25 to 27 September, 2023.
