LOFAR Science 2019

When: 
Monday, May 20, 2019 - 11:00 to Thursday, May 23, 2019 - 12:30
Description: 

The meeting will comprise 3 events:

  • The 2019 LOFAR Users Meeting - 20 May (11:00 – 18:00). Open to the whole LOFAR community and organized by the Radio Observatory, the Users Meeting is aimed at wide-ranging dialogue with the full LOFAR community, and is intended to bring together members of the Key Science Projects (KSPs), researchers with approved LOFAR projects, as well as any potential LOFAR users. ASTRON RO staff will demonstrate the current status of the LOFAR instrument and summarize plans for future development of software and procedures. For the users, this meeting represents an important forum for discussion, where they will have the opportunity to give their feedback on LOFAR operations and development, and highlight, when required, the need for improvement or change.
  • The 2019 LOFAR Community Science Workshop - 21-22 May (2 full days). This workshop aims to bring together all active LOFAR users, including members of the Key Science Project teams as well as any other researchers from the European and global community involved with, or interested in, LOFAR science. It will feature a wide range of talks on exciting new scientific results from the Cycle observing programs. The workshop program will cover the gamut of the LOFAR science case from cosmology and extragalactic research to galactic, planetary, and solar system topics. Special emphasis will be given in the program to younger members of the collaboration to allow them a chance to showcase their results.
  • LOFAR 2.0 discussion - 23 May (9:00 – 12:30). During this session, the plans for the LOFAR upgrade will be presented and discussed in detail with the community of users.
