Dark skies and remote sites have attracted world-class astronomical facilities to the Southwest and supported a wide range of research since the mid-1900s. Regional achievements span areas in both science and technology including optical and radio interferometry, as well as new understanding of solar physics, planetary science, star and galaxy formation and evolution, and the creation and evolution of our universe. To support the network of scientific research in the Southwest and encourage interdisciplinary discussions, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) is sponsoring the 39th Annual New Mexico Symposium on Friday, 17 November 2023.
Date and Location
The Symposium will be held in-person on Friday, 17 November 2023, at the NRAO Domenici Science Operations Center, and will be streamed online. We anticipate to fill the symposium day with presentations from 8:30am to 5:00pm MST, including poster sessions.
Symposium Dinner
NRAO will be hosting a post-meeting dinner, starting with pre-dinner drinks at 5:30pm MST. The dinner will be held at the Macey Center from 6pm MST. The dinner event will be free to officially registered symposium participants.
Jansky Lecture
The 58th annual Karl G. Jansky Lecture will be presented by Dr. Paul Vanden Bout from the NRAO on "Millimeter Astronomy at NRAO - Some Personal Reminiscences". The public lecture is free to attend by any member of the public, and will be held at Workman 101 on the NMT campus in Socorro, starting at 7pm MST. A reception will follow the lecture.
