First Announcement:
After the success of the First Arab Winter School for astrophysics (FAWSA) in 2016 in Marrakech, the Second Arab Winter School for Astrophysics (AWSA-II) in 2017 in Ifrane (Morocco), the Third ArAS School for Astrophysics (ArAS SfA-3) in Beirut (Lebanon) in 2018, the Fourth ArAS School for Astrophysics (ArAS SfA-4) in Al-Kottamia (Egypt) in 2019, and the Fifth ArAS School for Astrophysics (ArAS SfA-5) online in 2020, we are pleased to announce the Sixth ArAS School for Astrophysics (ArAS SfA-6) that will be held in the Qatar University, Qatar March 12 - 18, 2022.
Organized by:
The Arab Astronomical Society (ArAS)
Co-organized by:
Qatar University
Sponsored by:
The ArAS School for Astrophysics is an initiative of the Arab Astronomical Society (ArAS).
ArAS SfA's objective is to give brilliant and motivated students, interested by the astronomy, the opportunity to be trained by international professional astronomers due to the lack of research in astronomy in the Arab World.
ArAs SfA-6 will provide a platform for astrophysics knowledge sharing, triggering collaborations between fellow Arab astrophysicists, and building a strong professional Arab community in the field.
Based on our experience on the First Arab Winter School for Astrophysics (FAWSA) and the Second Arab Winter School for Astrophysics (AWSA-II), and the Third ArAS School for Astrophysics (ArAS SfA-3), the content of ArAS SfA-6 will focus mainly on different practices and skills of professional astronomers. The scope of AWSA-6 will cover the following fields:
Theoretical themes: (i) Observation of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) and Orbit determinations, and (ii) Optical Spectroscopy
Writing a proposal: How to write a proposal to obtain observational time in professional telescopes
Data/Observation: How to get data from telescope archives and How to do professional observation for the selected themes
Data reduction: How to reduce data using Python
Analysis: How to analyze photometric and spectroscopic data
Writing a paper: How to present your results in a scientific paper
