Event: McCray Committee on the Future of Radio
1/10/2008 5:45 PM - 6:45 PM, Ballroom E
In an effort to help forge a community-wide vision for the future of radio astronomy and in preparation for the next Decadal Survey, AUI sponsored a Committee on the Future of US Radio Astronomy. The Committee is comprised of members of the astronomy community with both a broad scientific perspective and a knowledge of radio astronomy techniques. It is chaired by Dick McCray from the University of Colorado. The primary goal of the Committee is to determine radio astronomy's role in answering fundamental questions in astronomy as an integral part of a broad scientific agenda. The committee has focused on the science questions expected to be most important over the next one to two decades, and has investigated how radio, millimeter and submillimeter (RMS) observations can best contribute. At this Town Hall, McCray will present the initial recommendations from the Committee and solicit feedback from attendees before the report is finalized.
