The SKAO is a next-generation radio astronomy-driven Big Data facility that will revolutionise our understanding of the Universe and the laws of fundamental physics. Enabled by cutting-edge technology, it promises to have a major impact on society, in science and beyond.
The SKA Observatory, or SKAO for short, is an intergovernmental organisation bringing together nations from around the...
Abstract: In this talk I will present the current status of 21 cm cosmology and its capabilities to be used as a probe to determine cosmological parameters. The BINGO radio telescope is an instrument built in Brazil and led by Brazilian scientists, devoted to study the 21 cm emission and to detect baryon acoustic oscillations in the radio band.
Lecturer: Carlos Alexandre Wuensche has a...
A number of new Fundamental Research Facilities are facing societal issues.They are indeed not new but take more and more importance as the consciousness of some societal aspects is increasing. They are not specific to this domain but impact many activity fields. It was thought to introduce this point in the School with some example case.
