Please note that there will be a lunch-time talk tomorrow in MSL005 where we'll be taking a look at a really elegant computational idea. Please do join us. It will be worth it. :) Shun From Shunmuga.Pillay at wits.ac.za Wed Sep 2 09:13:48 2015 From: Shunmuga.Pillay at wits.ac.za (Shunmuga Pillay) Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2015 07:13:48 +0000 Subject: [Astrophysics] Australian SKA Pathfinder telescope reveals 5-billion year old galaxy Message-ID: <7AE5F5B931A7444FB4DDFF40AD8D8B3F4D6EB8F3@Elpis.ds.WITS.AC.ZA> Hi. Check out these brief articles about an observation made by the Australian SKA Pathfinder telescope two months ago. https://www.skatelescope.org/news/australian-ska-pathfinder-telescope-reveals-a-galaxy-5-billion-light-years-away/ http://www.csiro.au/en/News/News-releases/2015/Weve-revealed-a-galaxy-far-far-away?featured=F29EDEB1728C4A92B579C7A5DC28BAD5 The importance of radio quiet sites is echoed here, as it was by Dr. Adrian Tiplady at last week's SKA Roadshow. BTW, hope to see you at today's talk (Wednesday) in MSL005. Take Care. Shun -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Welcome back from the study break. Our interest group will continue from Wednesday 23rd September. A reminder also that we'll be using the attendance register to identify dedicated students who we will invite to be part of two computational projects. These students will be provided with a dedicated room to work from, and as much computational resources as they need. Hope to see everyone again on the 23rd. Take Care.
