SCHOOL AIMS AND CONTENT
The tenth edition of the European Radio Interferometry School, ERIS2024, will be held in Granada, Spain, from Monday September 30th to Friday October 4th, 2024. ERIS aims to provide a complete overview of radio interferometry covering fundamentals, data processing, and analysis techniques, along with practical hands-on sessions. The following topics will be covered in the lectures and tutorials:
-
Calibration and imaging of interferometry data (continuum, spectral line, and polarization)
-
Observational techniques using various arrays (e.g., LOFAR, e-MERLIN, EVN/VLBI, ALMA & NOEMA)
-
Strategies for observation planning and proposal writing
Participants are expected to bring their own laptops, equipped with a recent CASA installation (version 6). Examples and tutorials will focus on instruments operating at m-, cm-, and mm-wave frequencies such as LOFAR, the JVLA, the EVN, e-MERLIN, and ALMA.
