Chile-Japan Patagonia Forum 2016

Astronomy and Astronomical Instrumentation (Workshop 01)

last updated on 2016/11/18

Date : Nov 8 and 10, 2016
Venue : First Floor Auditorium, Costaustralis Hotel, Puerto Natales


Introduction of the Workshop

Chile is one of the best site for the ground-based astronomy on the Earth, and now many large facilities in broad wavelength range from the optical to the radio are operated. Japanese institutes and universities are also running various telescopes in Chile, such as ALMA, TAO, NANTEN, and ASTE. However, interactions between astronomical communities of Chile and Japan is still limited. The aim of this workshop is to nurture interaction between researchers in both Chile and Japan, to promote exchange of students and post-docs, and to expand ongoing collaborations.
