Description of the workshop

We propose here to gather members of the EHT collaboration and researchers dedicated at finding/observing pulsars in the Galactic Centre (GC). This workshop will take place via zoom from June 10-12, 2020. A large part of the workshop will be focused on general GC pulsar science.  The first half of the session on Friday June 12 will involve the discussion of EHT data and will therefore be restricted to EHT members.  All other times will be open to all.

UPDATE:  The Wednesday session (June 10th) will be postponed until next week.  The Thursday and Friday schedules remain unchanged!

See "Venue" below for connection info and "Scientific Program" below for most up-to-date schedule.


NOTE:  ALL TIMES IN SCHEDULE ARE UT

Venue

Due to travel restrictions, we will not be able to meet in person in Paris.  As the next best option, we will be conducting the meeting over zoom. 
 
Given the difficulty of arranging appropriate times for participants all over the world, we have restricted our meeting to three 2hr sessions on Wednesday (June 10), Thursday (June 11), and Friday (June 12).  The Wednesday and Thursday sessions will take place from 1600-1800 UT and the public part of the Friday session will take place from 1600-1700 UT. 
 
The zoom connection details are given below.  For the EHT-only session on Friday, details will be sent via Teamwork.
 
Each meeting requires a 4-digit password which will be sent to you by email (but ... think hhmm for GC).
 
 
Wednesday (June 10) -- POSTPONED
 
The Wednesday session has been postponed to Monday June 15th.  New connection information will be posted here soon.
