#ag2025goerlitz — Public Fediverse posts

The complete #ag2025goerlitz conference poster "20-FOLD RESOLUTION IMPROVEMENT IN RADIOASTRONOMICAL SINGLE-DISH IMAGE SCANNING" which raised some eyebrows in Görlitz - and comes with the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc1C4JNTGXk - is available at https://ag2025.astronomische-gesellschaft.de/posters/Ebersberger_Johannes_41.pdf (there is also an article in https://www.naa.net/rb/rb_2025-3.php but apparently only in print while http://radioastronomie-leicht-gemacht.de covers some basics). #RadioAstronomy #ImageProcessing

Continuing the #ag2025goerlitz coverage with a picture from https://blog.g-vo.org/gavo-at-the-ag-tagung-in-gorlitz.html (scroll down to the update) showing yours truly winning a #Euclid towel for solving the @gavo conference #puzzler https://www.g-vo.org/puzzlerweb/puzzler2025-solution.pdf - we had actually just stared at the constellation boundaries in https://iauarchive.eso.org/public/themes/constellations/ for a while and guessed correctly. ;-)

Quasi der Abschlussvortrag der #ag2025goerlitz von Günther Hasinger über das gerade entstehende Deutsche Zentrum für Astrophysik - aber auf Deutsch und mit einigen Facetten mehr in der anschließenden Diskussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsVfYhn1CTA @GermanAstroSoc

@cosmos4u Thank you very much for this thread containing all these nice impressions from #ag2025goerlitz ! I was not able to attend this year, but I hope we meet again next year in Garching :)

The #DZA in a nutshell slide by Günther #Hasinger shown at #ag2025goerlitz in full resolution (thanks for sending it). Pictures from side events of the meeting to follow later ... as I'm already in the next one - https://www.fhsev.de/Wolfschmidt/events/akag-goerlitz-2025.php - to be followed by a short vaction near Oybin.

Missed the end of #ag2025goerlitz as I had to leave early yesterday. FOMO all around - while it was awesome seeing so many dear colleagues again (finally!), there were many more I barely managed to say hello to, let alone wave good-bye. Next time?

It was great being in #Görlitz, thanks #DZA for hosting all of us, everyone on the team made me feel welcome - looking forward to visiting again, hopefully!

All the #DZA - https://www.deutscheszentrumastrophysik.de - plans to as presented by Günther #Hasinger at the end of #ag2025goerlitz ... unfortunately the idiotic cellphone OS decided that this of all slides deserved only low resolution. :-(

You thought the #Gaia mission had ended with the passivation of the spacecraft? Very wrong: the coming #DR4 will vastly improve on what has been released so far as explained at #ag2025goerlitz

How to use the #SKA to observe air shower radio emission and figure out where the #CosmicRays actually come from. #ag2025goerlitz

The final day of #ag2025goerlitz - sniff - has begun ... a bit too much math at 9 a.m. for me but exciting perspectives in processing bad data - the QR code goes to https://ift.pages.mpcdf.de/j-ubik/

Hier soll in den kommenden Jahren ein moderner Campus für bis zu tausend Mitarbeitende des Deutschen Zentrums für Astrophysik in Görlitz entstehen. #ag2025goerlitz https://mastodon.social/@StefanDeiters/115229771579799642

Faszinierender Rundgang über das sogenannte Kahlbaum-Areal im Rahmen der AG-Tagung in Görlitz: Auf dem Gelände einer ehemaligen Nervenheilanstalt soll in den kommenden Jahren ein moderner Campus für bis zu tausend Mitarbeitende des Deutschen Zentrums für Astrophysik entstehen. #ag2025goerlitz

Today (19 September) there will be an #occultation of #Venus by the lunar crescent - in Germany in broad daylight and only 27° from the Sun, so it will be tough to observe: hints and links in https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2025/09/19/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-19-september/#Sep19 (simulations here for Görlitz, Germany, where #ag2025goerlitz ends just a few hours earlier).

Public evening lecture of #ag2025goerlitz about extreme variable stars - house packed and even a TV crew showed up.

Meeting of the Bildungsausschuss at #ag2025goerlitz - much debate about what authenticity (of observed data) means in astronomy education.

Die Herbsttagung der Astronomischen Gesellschaft findet aktuell gerade in Görlitz statt: Durch die Stadt verläuft der 15. östliche Längengrad und damit der Bezugsmeridian der mitteleuropäischen Zeit (MEZ). Hier sind somit die MEZ und die mittlere Sonnenzeit gleich. Die MEZ wurde am 1. April 1893 als Einheitszeit für das gesamte Deutsche Reich eingeführt. Eine Steinkugel im Stadtpark erinnert an die besondere Lage der Stadt. #ag2025goerlitz

The #ag2025goerlitz townhall about the #ExpandingHorizons initiative by #ESO concludes with a panel discussion featuring the five presenters.

Finally at the #ag2025goerlitz #ExpandingHorizons townhall a pitch for the #TimeDomainTelescope, consisting of one hundred 2-meter telescopes with spectrographs.

Next #ag2025goerlitz #ExpandingHorizons presentation: #AtLAST, the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope - more at https://www.atlast.uio.no

Now at the #ag2025goerlitz #ExpandingHorizons townhall the #WidefieldSpectroscopicTelescope - https://wstelescope.com - is presented: many spectra fast, to deal with a flood of discoveries of interesting objects expected in the 2030s.

The next #ExpandingHorizons pitch at the #ag2025goerlitz townhall is about #ALMA2040: see https://www.euroalma2040.com for details!

More slides from the #ag2025goerlitz #ExpandingHorizons #KilometersBaselineInterferometer presentation: two precursor projects connecting Cerro Paranal with neighboring peaks could prove the feasibility of the big thing.

It's #ExpandingHorizons - https://next.eso.org - day at #ag2025goerlitz! Here is F. Eisenhauer describing the #KilometersBaselineInterferometer concept: 10 micro arcsec resolution, countless opportunities ...

The #sunset today at the #BerzdorferSee just ahead of the #ag2025goerlitz conference dinner.

Sunset party at the #BerzdorferSee by the #astronomers from the #ag2025goerlitz - some views in the next post.

Walking towards the #ag2025goerlitz conference dinner: a #buoy with an interesting history at the shore of the #BerzdorferSee.

Amateur Milky Way observation in neutral hydrogen on steroids, with a 2.6 meter dish and superresolution: a poster at #ag2025goerlitz with detailled explanations in http://radioastronomie-leicht-gemacht.de

Observing neutral hydrogen in the Milky Way with a simple #RadioTelescope, a successful outreach project by tbe #DZA - an #ag2025goerlitz presentation.

This was nice 😊
