SUMMARY:Young Astronomers June.
DESCRIPTION:This month\, our aim is to show our young people how to use a telescope to look at the moon\, along with tips for how to care for them and what kinds of issues to look out for. Bring warm gear to be outdoors! \n \nIf the conditions are cloudy or rainy\, we will arrange to still do some practical telescope work indoors.\n \nClear Skies\, YA Team

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting June
DESCRIPTION:Precision Metrology of the Sky: Advances and Problems of VLBI Astrometry \nThe use of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique revolutionizes modern astrometry. It surpasses Gaia’s positional accuracy and allows conducting distance (parallax) measurements in the galactic plane far beyond the reach of optical telescopes. In this talk I will describe the method and report on some recent developments at the Warkworth Radio Astronomical Observatory in the field of radio (VLBI) astrometry. We will discuss problems of positional measurements in radio astronomy\, talk about effects of radio source structure on determination of its precise position on the sky\, about the perspectives of mapping spiral arms beyond the Galactic Centre with the use of methanol maser emission sources\, learn about the “Gaia Sausage” as well as of a new class of pulsars based on rotating white dwarfs (rather than neutron stars). \nProfessor Sergei Gulyaev is the founder and director of AUT’s Institute for Radio Astronomy and Space Research (IRASR). Under his direction\, the institute has built an observatory at Warkworth\, north of Auckland\, equipped with a 12-metre and a 30-metre radio telescope. \nA hallmark of Professor Gulyaev’s research is his collaborative approach with the IRASR forging working relationships with radio astronomy and national aeronautical organisations around the world\, including NASA\, SpaceX\, ESA (European Space Agency) and JAXA (Japanese Space Agency). \nIn one of many collaborative projects Professor Gulyaev and his team have used a technique known as Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) to link the Warkworth radio telescope with observatories across Australia\, including ASKAP (Australian SKA Pathfinder). Acting as one virtual radio telescope they were able to get greater resolution or sharper cosmic images from their observations.
