5th US/China Workshop on Radio Astronomy Science and Technology
Thursday, July 27 - 29, 2017
UVA Inn at Darden | Charlottesville, VA
Event Overview
We are pleased to announce the fifth in a series of China-U.S. radio astronomy workshops. The workshop will take place in Charlottesville, VA at the UVA Inn at Darden on July 27-29, 2017.
The workshop will build on the discussions and planning held in previous years to support collaborations in joint scientific programs. It will also establish opportunities for cooperation in planning, building, and commissioning new facilities and instrumentation. Potential joint observing programs will include the Very Long Baseline Array, the TianMa 65m radio telescope, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), and other existing and planned U.S. and Chinese facilities. Technical discussions will include the proposed 110m QiTai radio Telescope (QTT), handling big data, space Very Long Baseline Interferometry, and backends.
