Dear colleagues,
We invite you to participate in and contribute to the Focus
Meeting 5 at the IAU General Assembly in Cape Town in
August 2024, with the title "The future of radio astronomy in an
increasingly crowded spectrum". The Focus meeting is taking place on 7-8
August 2024. Abstracts for contributions can be submitted through the abstract submission system of the
IAU General Assembly with a deadline of 1 March 2024.
Radio astronomy becomes existentially threatened by anthropogenic radio
emissions. An example is the effort to provide global access to broadband
internet with small and large satellite constellations, which might affect
radio telescopes in the remotest areas, including even the Shielded Zone of the
Moon. The radio astronomy community therefore has to make a continuous effort to
protect radio astronomy and find ways to coexist with active users of the radio
spectrum. To do so, it is important to engage with regulators, industry, and
the public, but also to sustain the ninternal communication and discussion with
the specialists in their scientific disciplines within radio astronomy, to be
aware of the state of the arts and the future of research in radio astronomy.
This enables us to highlight the contributions of radio astronomy to science
and society, and to identify those parts of the spectrum, which are especially
relevant. This Focus meeting is meant to bring together specialists in radio
astronomy research, and spectrum managers whose chosen task is to protect
present and future radio astronomy.
Both a census of current research in radio astronomy as well as a discussion of
the means of its protection is the topic of Focus Meeting FM 5 at IAUGA 2024.
You can find further information here. Do not
hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Best regards,
on behalf of the SOC and the editorial board,
Gyula Józsa
