We are happy to announce that the School of Mathematics, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, is going to organize an "International Conference on Advancements in Mathematics (ICAM 2023)" from September 28th to 30th, 2023. 

We cordially invite you to participate and present research findings in the ICAM 2023.

please find more details from the following link and circulate it among your colleagues and students. Your earnest cooperation is solicited in this regard.

A conference on Modern Engineering Trends in Astronomy (META-2023) is being jointly organized by Raman Research Institute, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences, Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, and Physical Research Laboratory. META provides a common platform for students, engineers, and scientists working in the field of Astronomical Instrumentation to share ideas and discuss the recent engineering trends in building instruments for research in astronomy.

INTEGRAL's final call for Guest Observing time, AO-21, is now open, deadline 29th September:

The ESA Director of Science (Prof. Carole Mundell) released the 21st Announcement of Opportunity (AO-21) for observing proposals with INTEGRAL.

We are delighted to announce a conference "AKR centenary program" during October 5-7, 2023 at The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai. In this program, we will discuss the works of Professor Amal Kumar Raychaudhuri and remember him as the scientist, the teacher, and the visionary. We will have technical seminars followed by
an outreach program for the students.

Dear Colleagues,

"The MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey team has released radio continuum images and a catalog of 495,325 radio sources detected over an area of 2289 deg2 from 391 telescope pointings at 1 - 1.4 GHz.  The catalogs and images are publicly available at https://mals.iucaa.in.  This is the first of several radio continuum and spectral line data releases to come from MALS. "

Following are the recordings from the Computational Astrophysics Workshop organised by Dipanjan Mukherjee (IUCAA), Prateek Sharma (IISc), and Bhargav Vaidya (IIT Indore) at IISc Bangalore in July, 2023.,
