Astrolunch - 29th May

Mini-workshop on Millimetre Astronomy

With the rapid approach of the millimetre observing "season" the weekly UNSW Astro-Lunch will feature a special mini-workshop on millimetre astronomy on Wednesday May 29th. There will be a particular focus on the Mopra telescope, although much of the content will be relevant to the ATCA mm-interferometer as well. All are welcome to attend.

The program is as follows:
12:00   Vincent Minier MM-astronomy overview (what mm's are useful for)
12:30      Peter Barnes Observing strategies for mm-astronomy (concentrating on single-dish astronomy)
13:00  Michael Burton MM-astronomy with Mopra (science programs being conducted with Mopra, including some organisational aspects)
13:30         Maria Hunt Observing with Mopra (how Mopra works, including reduction and analysis of data)
