Gas and Magnetic Fields in Galaxies with ASKAP
A one-day workshop on
will be held at the ATNF headquarters in Sydney on Tuesday, 7th April, 2009.
In June 2009, the ATNF will seek submissions for large survey proposals using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). The goal of this workshop is to discuss the prospects, issues, challenges and synergies for ASKAP survey proposals relating to studies of magnetic fields (synchrotron emission, polarisation, Faraday rotation) and the diffuse interstellar medium (HI emission and absorption) in the Milky Way and in external galaxies.
If you are interested in participating, please confirm your attendance by 1 April, 2009, by email to Bryan Gaensler (bgaensler@usyd.edu.au). There is no registration fee; lunch and tea breaks will be provided for all participants. If you would like to give a talk, please email a talk title when you confirm your attendance. If you have dietary constraints, please also note this in your email.
I look forward to seeing you in Sydney on 7th April.
