The Sardinia Radio Telescope detects radio pulses
“The Sardinia Radio Telescope detects radio pulses at 7 GHz from the Magnetar PSR J1745-2900” The Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT) is becoming on line and is planning to join the RadioNet3 TNA programme by the beginning of 2014.
RadioNet listed in EC Assessment report
RadioNet "Advance Radio Astronomy in Europe" listed in the Assessment report on Research & Innovation of the European Commission
The European Commission recently made public the "Consultation on possible topics for future activities for integrating and opening existing national research infrastructures - Assessment report" (February 2013). http://ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm?pg=consultation
Successful ALMA Inauguration on March 13, 2013
ALMA has become now reality! Two main events happened in the last couple of months: The ALMA Inauguration on March 13, 2013 (http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1312/) and the "First Year of ALMA Science Conference" (http://www.eso.org/public/announcements/ann12101/) held in Puerto Varas/Chile on December 17, 2012 and made possible by the support of RadioNet3.
Maximising the use of research infrastructures in Europe
The European Commission has been supporting access to effective research infrastructures for researchers all over Europe for more than a decade. This action has been instrumental in enhancing European researchers' access to the infrastructures they require to conduct their research, irrespective of the location of the facility.
QueSERA call for proposals
The RadioNet workpackage QueSERA (addressing Questions on Structuring European Radio Astronomy) is providing opportunities for travel support in two categories. The aim of these is to entertain fellow astronomers who have typically not used RadioNet facilities with the excitement of modern Radio Astronomy. The two categories eligible for support are:
1. Colloquia at astronomy institutes or national astronomy conferences in countries with little radio-astronomy tradition.
2. Talks at conferences with astrophysics topics that have made limited use of radio-astronomy techniques (so far).
RadioNet3 participates in EWASS 2013
RadioNet3 has been invited to take part to the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science 2013 conference that will be held in the Logomo Centre, Turku, Finland, from 8 to 13 July 2013 - http://www.astro.utu.fi/EWASS2013/.
RadioNet3 accepted the invitation of Prof. Mary Kontizas, Vice-President of the European Astronomical Society, and will organise a Special Session - Sp2 -The role of modern radio observatories in black hole and jet studies on Monday July 08, 2013.
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: April 30, 2013, submission should be done via the web page: RadioNet Sp2
