Goal of the SDSS
The GBO Single Dish Summer School provides graduate students, post-docs, and experts in other fields of astronomy with both knowledge and practical experience of the techniques and applications of single-dish radio astronomy. The school is based around an intensive series of lectures from experts, as well as hands-on radio astronomy projects and tutorials. The next GBO SDSS will take place in Summer 2026.
Topics we will cover in the school include
Radio Emission Properties
Fundamentals of radio telescopes
Radio Frequency Instrumentation
Observing Techniques and Strategies
Calibration and Data Processing
Complementary Use of Single Dish Telescopes and Interferometers
Key Science Areas for Single dish Radio Telescopes
