Announcement: Second Advanced ArAS School for Astrophysics
We are pleased announce the Second Advanced ArAS School for Astrophysics in the Kottamia Astronomical Observatory, Egypt, on October 22-27, 2022.
Organized by:
The Arab Astronomical Society (ArAS)
Co-organized by:
The National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG)
Sponsored by:
On the occasion of Arab Conference on Astronomy and Geophysics (ACAG)
The ArAS School for Astrophysics is an initiative of the Arab Astronomical Society (ArAS).
ArAS SfA's objective is to give brilliant and motivated students, interested by the astronomy, the opportunity to be trained by international professional astronomers due to the lack of research in astronomy in the Arab World.
ArAs SfA-5 is endorsed by the Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD) of the International Astronomical Union (IAU). It will provide a platform for astrophysics knowledge sharing, triggering collaborations between fellow Arab astrophysicists, and building a strong professional Arab community in the field.
Based on our experience on the First Arab Winter School for Astrophysics (FAWSA) and the Second Arab Winter School for Astrophysics (AWSA-II), the Third ArAS School for Astrophysics (ArAS SfA-3), and the Fourth ArAS School for Astrophysics (ArAS SfA-4), the content of the Second Advanced ArAS School for Astrophysics (ArAS SfA-Adv2) will focus mainly on different practices and skills of professional astronomers. The scope of ArAS SfA-Adv2 will cover the following fields:
- Distance within the solar system
- Distance in our galaxy
- Extra galactic distance
- Detecting, Tracking and Imaging Space Debris and Near-Earth Objects spectroscopy
- Practical sessions of data processing
- Writing a proposal: How to write a proposal to obtain observational time in professional telescopes
- Data/Observation: How to get data from telescope archives and how to do professional observation for the selected themes
- Data reduction: How to reduce data using IRAF and Python
- Analysis: How to analyse photometric and spectroscopic data
- Writing a paper: How to present your results in a scientific paper
