Optical Call for Proposals 2024A is open

Discovery with the support of the ORP TA - international team of researchers have detected cold molecular gas in the form of carbon monoxide in the host galaxy of a supermassive black hole at an early epoch in cosmic history

IRAM Call Is Open For Observing Proposals For NOEMA Interferometer And The 30-Meter Telescope

The LOFAR radio telescope has shown that satellites can unintentionally emit radio waves that interfere with the telescope. If not addressed, their radio emission could close valuable windows into the Universe. This research emphasises the importance of collaboration between astronomy and industry to overcome these issues and establish regulation to control emissions.

Members of the Opticon RadioNet Pilot (ORP) used the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope to observe Starlink satellites. They detected "unintended electromagnetic radiation" from onboard electronics, which could negatively impact astronomical research. They encourage satellite operators and regulators to consider this impact on radio astronomy in spacecraft development and regulatory processes.
