The annual meeting of the European Astronomical Society (EAS) ended today in Krakow, Poland. The meeting gathered some 1,500 researchers from around the world to discuss topics from exoplanets to star formation and galactic evolution. Next year, Padua will host the annual EAS meeting from 1st to 5th July 2024.


According to the ritual, at the end of the closing ceremony, the Polish committee that collaborated in the organization of the conference passed the flag to the Italian colleagues. "It is a great opportunity for Italy, also for Padua but certainly for the whole Italian astronomical community, and I hope we will be able to make the best out of it", comments Sara Lucatello, researcher at the National Institute of Astrophysics in Padua and vice president of Eas . "I can't wait to bring European astronomy to my institute and show them the great astronomical capabilities and cutting-edge science that is being done in Italy today."

MISTRAL, a wind of change in the SRT observations

May 29, 2025

MISTRAL, a wind of change in the SRT observations MISTRAL is a new-generation receiver for observations at millimeter wavelengths, built as part of the recent project to upgrade the Sardinia Radio Telescope for the study of the high-frequency radio universe. The main features of this instrument are the very high number of detectors cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero and a dedicated cold optical system, which allow for extremely sharp images. MISTRAL made its “first light” by observing three different celestial objects: the Orion Nebula, the radio lobes of the supermassive black hole in the galaxy M87, and the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. These images represent the first scientific observations at 90 GHz ever obtained using the SRT
