The Next Generation Surveys for

Multimessenger Astronomy


Overview


The Astronomy Study Program at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Bandung Institute of Technology, is excited to announce an international virtual course entitled "The Next Generation Survey of Multimessenger Astronomy”. This course will be held at 26 August – 06 September 2024.

This course explores cutting-edge developments in multimessenger astronomy, including the ongoing and upcoming surveys with various projects. Participants will have the unique opportunity to engage with active scientists in the relevant fields from these groundbreaking surveys. Discussions will cover many topics, including galaxy formation and evolution, black hole physics, and other exciting scientific possibilities enabled by these next-generation surveys.

This course will be equivalent to an elective course (3 credit units) in the Undergraduate Program in Astronomy, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, ITB. Therefore, the target participants are primarily, but not limited to, students at the undergraduate level who have sufficient fundamentals of physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, and waves), calculus, and the basics of galaxies and cosmology.

We invite all students from Indonesia and abroad who are passionate about astronomy and eager to expand their knowledge in this dynamic field. Don't miss this chance to learn from and interact with leading experts in multimessenger astronomy.
