An international team of astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has witnessed a cosmic weather event that has never been seen before — a cluster of towering intergalactic gas clouds raining in on the supermassive black hole at the centre of a huge galaxy one billion light-years from Earth.
Registration is now OPEN for the “Half a
Decade of ALMA: Cosmic Dawns Transformed” (http://go.nrao.edu/ALMA5years)
conference which will be held 20 – 23 September 2016 at the Renaissance
Indian Wells Resort in Indian Wells, California, USA (near Palm Springs).
Allegro, the Netherlands node of the European ALMA Regional Centre (ARC) at Leiden Observatory, invites applications for a postdoctoral support position. As part of the European ARC network, Allegro supports ALMA users and ALMA operations and development.
A workshop focused on how to improve the ALMA phase corrections is jointly organized by the ALMA observatory and Allegro. It will be held at Leiden Observatory from May 30 – Jun 3. Participation is by invitation only.
