| Description: | The recent meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Austin, Texas featured a Special Session entitled "First Science with LOFAR". This event was organized by Michael Wise and featured talks by Michael, George Heald, Chiara Ferrari, Jason Hessels, Ger de Bruyn, and Heino Falcke. These talks spanned the range of science topics that are now being done with LOFAR, including large-scale surveys, pulsars and transients, deep studies of galaxy clusters, the epoch of reionization, and cosmic rays.
For most of the session the room was packed with roughly 75-100 people (standing room only at the back). The response afterwards from our American and international colleagues was extremely positive! |
