Congratulations to four key contributors to the AtLAST project for successfully defending their PhDs in 2024! Their valuable inputs to the Science and Energy Work Packages demonstrate their dedication and expertise in their respective fields.
Over the summer, the Department of Technology Systems (ITS) at the University of Oslo warmly welcomed three students to work on topics related to the AtLAST project.
On October 5 and 6 we held our annual consortium meeting, the first one using a hybrid format, with two thirds of the team meeting in person at the University of Oslo, and the rest joining online. The importance of synergy and feedback from all the different work packages was the highlight of the event.
In June our energy team went for their first field trip to Atacama del Chile, 5000 m above sea level, a notorious paradise for astronomers. The team ran workshops and discussed with engineers on site about renewable energy solutions.
July 5th was a crucial day for the AtLAST project: several months of planning and organization culminated in a workshop on sustainable energy communities in San Pedro de Atacama.
In June 2022, the University of Oslo, on behalf of the AtLAST consortium, and the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR), signed a cooperation agreement to facilitate and promote the scientific and technical collaboration between the AtLAST design study and the APEX telescope projects.
In December 2021, two of our Europe-based AtLAST team members traveled to Chile and started the local activities for the site selection and sustainable energy work. Where should we place the new 50-meter dish?
March 2021 marks the start of the study design for a new, revolutionary, low carbon footprint sub-millimetre telescope.
