What can VLBI do for your Research?
| Submitter: | Gina Maffey |
| Description: | It was a question that the JIVE team took to the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science 2018 from 2nd - 6th April in Liverpool, UK. The answer was an open one, with responses delivered by a global audience. A host of talks and posters throughout the week featured VLBI in relation to gravitational waves, Fast Radio Bursts, black holes and the SKA, to name but a few topics. A special session on Wednesday 4th April encouraged attendees to consider the impact and growing potential for VLBI in radio astronomy: 'Exploring the Universe: A European vision for the future of VLBI'. The session was organised by Tiziana Venturi (INAF), Zsolt Paragi (JIVE), and Michael Lindqvist (Onsala Space Observatory), as part of the JUMPING JIVE project (Joining up Users for Maximizing the Profile, the Innovation and Necessary Globalization of JIVE). It was well attended and included lively and insightful discussions. Alongside the talks and posters, JIVE also partnered with e-MERLIN, ALMA, DARA (Development in Africa with Radio Astronomy) and ICE (Interferometry Centre of Excellence) to produce a radio astronomy exhibition corner. This area showcased the range of work being done across the institutes, and crucially, introduced a broad audience to the possibilities of VLBI, leaving them to ponder "What can VLBI do for my research?" |
