NUVA Meetings

  • NUVA workshop on UV technologies for Astronomy, Madrid November 30th, 2010
    For further details contact nuva.at.mat.ucm.es
  • Second NUVA conference: UV Universe 2010
    St.-Petersburg in May 31-June 4, 2010.

    The current status of UV-based astrophysical research will be reviewed as well as the status of on-going projects such as the Galactic Evolution Explorer ( GALEX)or the Space Telescope ( HST) as well as novel projects such as Fresnel Interferometers or the status of small missions such as SPEAR/FIMS or TAUVEX. Special attention during the conference will be paid at the World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet ( WSO-UV) - a 170 cm UV space telescope that is planned to be launched in 2014. One of the objectives of the meeting is to joint the main streams on current astrophysical research requiring access to UV facilities to contribute in the definition of the core programme for the WSO-UV (http://www.wso-uv.org). For this reason the meeting is wide open to oral contributions in the main fields of astrophysical research.
    The conference is organized by the Institute of Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Main Astronomical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences together with NUVA (Network for the Ultraviolet Astronomy) Community.
    UV Universe 2010
  • Space Astronomy: The UV Window to the Universe (1st NUVA conference)
    El Escorial, Spain, May 28 - June 1, 2007
    FUSE conference

    The Network for UV Astronomy (NUVA) is defining a road map for UV astronomy at European scale. This conference is organized to provide a discusion forum on the scientific needs for UV instrumentation and to assist in the identification of the key-technologies for this purpose.

 

 

 

 

 

COPAG meetings

The Cosmic Origins Program Analysis Group (COPAG) is constituted by the NASA Astrophysics Subcommittee (ApS) to support community coordination and analysis of scientific and technological issues impacting NASA's Cosmic Origins Program.

Currently the COPAG has three Study Analysis Groups:

  • SAG#1 (coordinated by Ken Sembach and Jonathan Gardner): considering technology priorities for a stand-alone UV/optical large telescope mission.
  • SAG#2 (coordinated by Chuck Lillie and with the ExoPAG Direct Imaging Mission SAG): investigating technology needs for a joint UV/optical general astrophysics and exoplanet imaging mission
  • SAG#3 (coordinated by Paul Goldsmith): investigating technology priorities for future SOFIA and SPICA instruments.

    Lyman alpha conference
  • The Lyman Alpha Universe
    July 6-10, Paris (France)
    • The Lyman-alpha line and related diagnostics are now routinely used in numerous astrophysical studies for example to probe massive star formation across the Universe, to study properties of the interstellar and intergalactic medium (ISM and IGM) across cosmic times, and to search for the most distant galaxies in the Universe.
  • Milliarcsecond imaging in the UV-Optical domains. Preparing the way to spaceborne Fresnel Imagers. September 23-25, Nice (France)
