This notice is a Call for Abstracts from those wanting to present a contributed talk at the workshop in the following tracks:
IUCAA is a premier autonomous research institution set up by the University Grants Commission to promote astronomy and astrophysics in Indian colleges and universities. This is accomplished through an active associateship program and by conducting schools and workshops across the country. IUCAA is involved in teaching post-graduate and graduate courses. IUCAA is also actively engaged in science popularisation.
Amity University is offering M.Sc. Physics with one of the specializations as Astrophysics. Please find more information from the attached file.

We have collected here 450 best problems from Astronomy Olympiads conducted in Moscow since 1947, along with comprehensive solutions and explanations. Practical astronomy, astrodynamics, astrophysics, planetology, and astronautics are the general subjects of the problems. These problems are of very different difficulty levels, from simple questions for young amateur astronomers to real problems for professionals. The book is aimed at school and college students and teachers, as well as amateur and professional astronomers.

Dear colleagues,
We're pleased to inform you that we have published a book that provides a concise introduction to gravitational waves physics, which includes problems on GW aimed at graduate and PhD students. The book covers latest developments in the detection of GW. The reader will also learn how gravitational waves provide a testing tool for various theories of gravity, i.e. general relativity and extended theories of gravity, and will be the definitive test for general relativity.

Dear colleagues,
I'm very pleased to inform you that I have compiled some beginner-friendly data based exercises in astronomy into a small book which is now available for purchase on major ecommerce platforms as ebook and paperback worldwide (links below). These are aimed at undergraduate students/college teachers. Enthusiastic high school students may benefit from it as well.
If you find it worthy, please consider it for your library, and help me take it to the relevant readers. I look forward to receiving your feedback.
Applications are invited from motivated and eligible candidates for one JRF position in the SERB-sponsored research project on studying “Ionospheric effect on the redshifted 21-cm radio-interferometric observations with uGMRT and satellite observations”. The project involves radio interferometric observations, data analysis, and theoretical interpretations of uGMRT and GPS satellite data. Please find more information from the attached file.
