Dear Colleagues:

We are pleased to announce that abstract submissions for the conference “Follow the Monarchs: A Journey to Explore the Cosmos at (Sub)milliarcsecond Scales with the ngVLA” are now open! This conference is designed to highlight and explore the novel scientific opportunities that will unfold with the unprecedented angular resolution and sensitivity capabilities offered by this new facility.

Click here to submit your abstract and/or visit the conference website at http://go.nrao.edu/ngvla24.

The conference will take place over four days, from November 11 to November 14, 2024,  in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Morelia (Mexico). A variety of oral presentations and posters will be presented, with a special focus on the new science that will be possible at high angular resolution; the ngVLA will allow, for the first time, the detection of thermal emission at 1 mas angular scales, as well as, unprecedented high-fidelity imaging of non-thermal emission on scales less than 1 mas. Researchers within and beyond Radio Astronomy expertise are invited to engage in discussions, share insights, and start to plan the groundbreaking science that the ngVLA will make possible. We particularly encourage the participation of early career scientists, who will be the major users of this observatory.

Join us on this exciting journey as we prepare to unveil the mysteries of the cosmos in the next decade and beyond.

Best regards,

Aina Palau, on behalf of The  Organizing Committees
