Please register via the external event website. Optical and near-infrared astronomy is now truly in a transition phase from small-team projects to large-scale mega-surveys. Australian and Chinese colleagues are ideally placed to take advantage of these developments, which could have an ever greater impact if we combined forces to pursue the most exciting opportunities where […]
Please register via the external event website. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are an enigmatic class of extragalactic radio transients currently attracting great scientific interest. ASKAP (Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder) and FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope) are at the forefront of this fast-moving field, with groups in both Australia and China interpreting the data […]

Astroparticle physics is a rapidly emerging field at the intersection of particle physics and astrophysics. China and Australia are both key players in this field, with involvements in a number of world-leading facilities, and host to major theoretical activities. This workshop in particular looked at the nature of dark matter, other 'cosmic relics' and studies of high-energy particles and their origins.
This year marks the 50th year of Australia-China diplomatic relations and there will be an impressive line-up of invited speakers as well as plenty of opportunity for members of both the Australian and Chinese communities to present their latest research. The workshop will cover all areas of astronomical collaboration between Australian and China.
China and Australia are located in similar time zones, and an equatorial region of the sky can be simultaneously observed by telescopes in both countries. In addition, the combined array including the Chinese VLBI Network, the southern hemisphere Long Baseline Array (LBA), the Indian GMRT and the South African SKA can offer excellent uv-coverage for […]
