The European Radio Interferometry School was hosted by Onsala Space Observatory at Chalmers University of Technology on 7-11 October 2019, at Hotel Panorama, Gothenburg, Sweden. This school was the eighth of a series of summer schools supported by RadioNet. ERIS provided a week of lectures and tutorials on how to achieve scientific results from radio interferometry.
The topics covered by the lectures/tutorials included:
- Calibration and imaging of continuum, spectral line, and polarization data;
- Observing techniques for low frequencies (e.g. LOFAR), intermediate frequencies (e.g. VLA and e-MERLIN), high frequencies (e.g. ALMA and NOEMA), and VLBI (e.g. EVN);
- Extracting the information from astronomical data and interpreting the results;
- Choosing the most suitable array and observing plan for your project.
