Rationale
 
NenuFAR is about to enter Cycle #4 of its operation. Observing time is allocated to long-term programs and regular programs over a 6-month observing periodicity. We propose to gather in a hybrid "family meeting" in Nançay to present and discuss the science and current results obtained since the last workshop covering the end of the "Early science" phase and during the first cycles carried in open time.
We want to offer to users and new potential users, the opportunity to get the latest up-to-date information about the instrument, data processing methods and facilities. Participants will get the possibility to do practical sessions around various projects and tools (Beamforming, pulsar, imaging, etc.) with NenuFAR data.
 
In the workshop, we will address :
- Presentation & updates on the instrument (technical presentations and organization)
- Scientific presentations (Observations, methodologies, results)
- Tutorials on reduction tools, pipelines, computing/storage resources
- Discussions / Questions / Future plans

Transport
  • Arriving by train
If you wish to arrive by train, you should take a train (TER or Intercité) to "Salbris" train station (Oui sncf website) which is 15 min away from Nançay.
 
There is no "formal" shuttle between the train station to the ORN. However, we will try to organize carpooling (organizers & participants) between hotels/train station and ORN.
 
If you have the opportunity to rent a car, it is the safest way to insure your autonomy.

  • Arriving by car
From Paris, take the southern Highway A10, passed Orleans, take the A71 towards Clermont Ferrand. Take the exit N°4 "Salbris" and take direction "Salbris".
Passed the round-about, take the direction of Nançay. In Nançay center, turn left to pass in front of the church and exit the town. Take slighlty on the left in the direction of the Nançay "Station". You should enter by the Northern Entrance so do not enter the Pôle des Étoiles, but continue on the road for a few km then turn right. Enter the large gate to the parking. The meeting point is in the conference room (check map).
 
Eating at the station
Coffee breaks will be complimentary.
 
Information about lunch and dinner will be updated soon.
