Contemporary astrophysics is increasingly based on an integrated approach, where scientific advances are possible thanks to observations and studies performed in different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, and with the new cosmic messengers, such as gravitational waves, neutrinos and cosmic rays.
In this exciting new landscape, radioastronomy is already playing a key role to maximise the scientific return of major national and international research infrastructures, thanks to technological advances as well as new observational strategies.
The goal of the workshop is to connect the Italian radio astronomical community, whose international relevance and leadership is well established, with experts in geodesy, in other bands of the electromagnetic spectrum and in multi-messenger astronomy, to foster scientific discussions and promote new collaborations.
Starting from the role of radioastronomy in the context of contemporary astrophysics, the workshop will highlight synergies with optical, infrared, ultraviolet, X- and gamma-ray bands observations, as well as non-electromagnetic messengers.
The workshop will finally host sessions on state-of-the-art technology applied to radio astronomy and offer the ground for discussion among different technological communities.
The workshop will consist of invited and contributed presentations, focusing on multi-band and multi-messenger science, alongside cross-cutting technological developments. The program will also include dedicated topic-driven discussion sessions.
The workshop will take place at the Osservatorio di Capodimonte, Napoli. It will start in the afternoon of Tuesday February 23rd, and will end on Friday February 26th at lunch time. No registration fee is required.
Prospective participants are encouraged to proceed with the hotel reservation as soon as possible.
