Announcements of Upcoming Summer Schools
Notice that this list is not meant to be all-inclusive, but concentrates on summer schools of potential interest to X-ray, gamma-ray, cosmic-ray, and gravitational astrophysicists. The HEASARC also maintains a list of upcoming (mostly high-energy astrophysics) meetings, as well as a list of on-line proceedings of high-energy astrophysics summer schools. Updates, corrections, and/or suggestions about summmer schools should be sent to the HEASARC Help Desk.
High Energy Astrophysics Summer Schools
The ASTRAL-X School is a unique opportunity for students and early-career researchers from Latin America to dive deep into the multidimensional aspects of X-ray astrophysics. Participants will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge instruments and techniques shaping the future of research areas, from stellar compact objects and supernova remnants to active galactic nuclei and galaxy clusters. We will explore high-resolution spectra with the XRISM mission, delve into advanced timing studies using the NICER instrument, and study X-ray polarimetry with the IXPE satellite. We will also feature insightful lectures on the NuSTAR hard X-ray observatory, and the integration of Machine Learning tools to enhance data analysis techniques. In addition, participants will benefit from comprehensive theoretical lectures covering essential topics such as X-ray astrophysics, high-energy radiative processes, and statistics, offered by internationally recognised, experienced Lecturers in the field.
The ASTRAL-X School will be held at the Karakachoff Building of the National University of La Plata (UNLP), in Argentina, providing a stimulating academic environment and the opportunity to engage with internationally recognised, leading researchers. The School will host more than 30 participants from Latin America, including advanced Master’s (Licenciatura) students, PhD students and postdocs, and early-career researchers.
The School has no Registration Fee. All selected non-local participants will be fully accommodated at the AMAU Hotel (UNLP) at no charge. Meals will be fully covered for all the selected participants. Travel expenses will only be partially covered in particular cases.
