Legacy Projects Workshop
2006 May 17
Array Operations Center
National Radio Astronomy Observatory
Socorro, New Mexico
The
National Radio Astronomy Observatory
(NRAO) invites all astronomers to a one-day Legacy Projects Workshop
on Wednesday, May 17, 2006 at the Array Operations Center in Socorro,
NM. Legacy projects should produce results of high scientific impact
or data of long-term value to the entire astronomical community. They
may require large amounts of time on one or more telescopes,
collaborations of many astronomers from several institutions, new
instrumentation and software, and new modes of observing. The goal of
this workshop is to bring together like-minded people who can identify
the leading scientific and technical opportunities for legacy projects
and refine NRAO's policies for implementing them.
The Program (Abstracts)
includes invited speakers,a panel discussion, and both oral and poster
sessions enabling every participant to present ideas related to legacy
programs involving NRAO
facilities.
