What's the next Colloquium? When is it? Where is it?
Colloquia and Talks at Epping.
Informal Talks at Epping
AAO and other Australian Conferences
Colloquia and Talks at the AAO/ATNF Epping.
The AAO organises frequent colloquia at our Epping headquarters. These are usually held on a Thursday afternoon, normally at 3:30pm, though other dates are occasionally scheduled. We welcome talks from visiting astronomers - if you are passing through Sydney and would like to tell us about your work, please contact Quentin Parker (qap@ics.mq.edu.au)The ATNF (Australia Telescope National Facility) also organises colloquia at their Epping offices. A schedule for these talks can be found here.
The AAO and ATNF also occasionally organise Joint Colloquia when the speaker is likely to be of interest to both radio and optical communities. These talks will be found in both the list below, and the ATNF schedule.
A list of past speakers can be found here.
Informal Seminars
As well as the more formal colloquia described above, there are a number of informal discussion groups which meet regularly on the ATNF/Radiophysics/AAO grounds. All are welcome to these discussions.- Galaxy Lunches - Tuesdays, 12:30-1:30 pm in the Astro conference room in the ATNF basement.
- AAO/ATNF Astronomy Tea - Wednesdays ~10:00 am. Alternates beween the AAO Conference Room and the ATNF Seminar Room (Room #4). An informal astronomical discussion which visitors to Epping are welcome to attend if they happen to be around.
