Learning Radio Astronomy

The European Radio Interferometry School 2022 was a one-week workshop on radio astronomy data acquisition, reduction, and analysis. The event was sponsored by OPTICON-RadioNET Pilot and hosted by the Joint Institute for VLBI ERIC (JIVE) and the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON).

The lectures and tutorials covered calibration and imaging, interferometry across multiple wavelength ranges, astronomical data analysis, and observing-plan design.
