Netherlands ALMA Science Day — Nov 1, 2018

/in , /by

Allegro is organizing an ALMA Science Day on Thursday November 1st, 2018, at Leiden Observatory.

The day will start with a special ALMA Colloquium by Dr. Karin Öberg (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), who will tell us about the “Chemistry of Planet Formation”. We have reserved the afternoon for presentations by astronomers from the Allegro user community: We have exciting talks scheduled with ALMA results on galaxies, planet forming disks and star formation. In between and before the tea break, we will also have the latest news from ALMA followed by an open discussion on expectations and wishes for user support, and any other ALMA-related topics.

For those interested, an ALMA data reduction training with CASA will be offered on Friday November 2 at Allegro.

Sera Markoff and Remo Tilanus at Astronomy on Tap!

/in /by

In the first event of the year of Astronomy on Tap in Leiden, Sera Markoff and Remo Tilanus will tell us about black holes and how they help us understand the Universe.

Sera Markoff is a professor at the Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy at University of Amsterdam. She works at the interface of Astrophysics and Astroparticle Physics, and is interested in a variety of problems relating to the accretion process especially around black holes, both big and small.

Remo Tilanus is the Program Manager of ALLEGRO, the European ALMA Regional Center node at the Leiden Observatory, and the Scientific Program Manager of the Event Horizon mmVLBI camera: the first project to directly observe a black hole.

Astronomy on Tap features scientists and educators who speak of their passion for astronomy and research. Professional astronomers from the Leiden area hold informal presentations on a wide range of astronomical topics, every last Monday of the month at Grand Cafe De Burcht.

Allegro hosted the EU ARC All-hands meeting

/in , , , /by

During the last week of September the staff working in all the European ARC nodes had their yearly meeting in Den Dolder (NL) hosted by the Allegro node.

This yearly meeting brings together all the expertise in the network, in an unique occasion that allows us to share our experiences, strengthen our links and discuss pass, present and future developments.

We all are looking forward our next meeting organized by our colleagues at the Czech ARC node.
