Course Overview:<\/h2>\n

Arecibo Observatory is a multi-faceted research center and is home to multiple facilities, including until recently one of the world\u2019s largest single-aperture telescopes. The complex enables observations to study objects from our own atmosphere to the farthest reaches of the Universe. This seminar will highlight scientific observations and discoveries enabled by AO, including current studies. The core content will be a series of topic-focused lectures given by leading AO researchers, as well as technical presentations about the telescope, facilities, and operations. The format encourages questions and discussion from the in-person and online audience.<\/p>\n

The lectures will be offered online through Zoom in real-time and will be recorded for future reference. Lectures will typically be held on Mondays at 10:30 am EDT\/EST [50 min lecture + 30 min discussion]. There will be an online discussion of the Monday lecture topic on the following Wednesday at 10:30 am EDT\/EST. The discussion will also be recorded and archived on the course website.<\/p>\n

This course is sponsored jointly by the University of Central Florida and the NASA Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI).<\/p>\n
