We are happy to announce a five-day-long conference and a five-day-long school titled "Observing the First Billion Years of the Universe using Next Generation Telescopes" at IIT Indore, India during 20-24 January 2020 (conference) and 27-31 January 2020 (school).
Summary:
The conference will focus on the progress and present status of multi-wavelength observations, modelling, and statistical inference tools of the CD-EoR and post-EoR epoch. The school will consist of a series of lectures, hands-on demonstrations, and discussions by experts on different methods of analytical modelling, simulations, observations, data reduction, and statistical inference for multi-wavelength observations of this early phase of our Universe. This will be part of the ongoing effort of the SKA-India consortium, which has been conducting such schools annually since 2016. The registration for both the conference and the school are open now.
Important dates:
Registration and abstract submission starts: 01 September 2019
Registration and abstract submission ends: 06 October 2019
Conference: 20-24 January 2020
School: 27-31 January 2020
Venue:
IIT Indore, India
Issues in focus:
Reionization of hydrogen and helium
First sources of light
Updates on 21-cm experiments
Updates on X-ray, UV, IR experiments
