Conference Overview
Driven by substantial upgrades in recent years to existing facilities and the construction of new radio telescopes, the capabilities for low frequency radio science are greatly expanding. Significant progress is being made in high redshift 21-cm cosmology including the cosmic dawn and epoch of reionization, pulsar and transient science, and the understanding of planetary and exoplanetary magetospheres, radio sky surveys, space weather, and solar physics. The Science at Low Frequencies (SALF) conference provides a forum for astronomers to share and discuss science results, techniques, and technologies, as well as to plan a coordinated path forward to future projects and facilities.
The format will feature 2-hour blocks distributed every 8 hours to allow most people in the world to participate in person in a somewhat favourable time zone. All talks will be recorded, so you can also peruse the presentations afterwards. There will also be a Slack channel dedicated to the meeting to encourage conversations to extend over the different time zones. An online social event will also be encouraged mid-way through the meeting.
Registration for this conference is now closed. If you do want to attend and did not get a chance to register, please contact Joe Callingham (jcal@strw.leidenuniv.nl).
