OzGrav Relativistic Afterglows Workshop

This three day workshop will be dedicated to devising an end-to-end program for studying relativistic afterglows, covering discovery with next-generation telescopes such as Rubin, all the way to interpretation and population studies. The exact format will be decided closer to the date, but we expect it to be predominantly focused around hands-on collaboration. All OzGrav members are welcome, and some external collaborators will be in attendance on an invite-only basis. There is no registration fee. OzGrav will offer a $500 travel subsidy for each interstate attendee, to help cover the cost of flights and accommodation (those travellers are asked to organise travel through their unis and have their unis invoice HQ for reimbursement).

EVENT DATE: 16 September, 2026 - 18 September, 2026
