7th IRAM 30m Summerschool

The 7th IRAM 30m summerschool on Millimeter Astronomy will take place in the week of September 13 to 20 this year, in the ski resort Pradollano, in the Spanish Sierra Nevada, at only 15 minutes driving distance from the IRAM 30m telescope.

Registration has now been opened.

The school will combine lectures on millimeter astronomy with hands-on experience with the IRAM 30m telescope. Participants will form small work groups to observe a diverse set of objects of the local universe, ranging from distant galaxies at high redshifts to local galaxies and clouds in the Milky Way, and to sun-grazing comets in the solar system.

Science lectures will be complemented by dedicated presentations on millimeter instrumentation, observing techniques, and data processing. The school is aimed at attracting young scientists to contemporary single-dish millimeter astronomy.

It is limited to about 40 students who will be selected on the basis of their interests, CV, and references.
