Legend: Speakers and participants of the 6th Advanced School of INPE's Astrophysics.
The 6th Advanced School of Astrophysics of INPE was held between August 13 and 16, 2018 at INPE. Courses were given by international researchers with the 21 cm Cosmology subjects, the main area of interest of the BINGO Project.
There were 44 participants from both Brazil and abroad. According to Dr. Carlos Alexandre Wuensche, one of the organizers of the event and one of the main researchers of the BINGO Project, "the goal was achieved with very good quality classes. In my opinion, the most important thing was that the speakers were very accessible for conversations with students and there was a lot of interaction between them. "
The Prof. Dr. Elcio Abdalla, Principal Investigator of the BINGO Project, sees the results of the School as positive and points out that it was a good opportunity to learn from those who are doing cutting-edge science in the area and in telescope projects similar to BINGO, such as Dr. Jeff Peterson, one of the lecturers at the School.
On the relationship with the radio telescope BINGO, Wuensch explains that "as some speakers explicitly referred to BINGO and considered it a very competitive experiment in the face of what is or will be operating in the market, it was positive for students to see the relevance of a project built in the country. Abdalla complements "as this was an event originated within the BINGO Project and had speakers who either participate in and / or have an interest in the BINGO Telescope, its realization led to a discussion and even bringing other researchers closer to our project. "
The subjects discussed during the 6th Advanced School of Astrophysics of INPE were:
21-cm cosmology: mean temperature, power spectra from relativistic calculation, and observational prospects. (Dr. Yin-Zhe Ma)
Tracing the birth of the first stars and galaxies: from the Cosmic Dawn to the EOR. (Dr. Marta Silva)
The Hydrogen thermal history from recombination to reionization: a experimental/observational view. (Dr. Jeff Peterson)
The role of Bayesian statistics in radio astronomy data modelling. (Dr. Filipe Abdalla)
The event that took place at INPE, in São José dos Campos, was supported by the Foundation for Research in the State of São Paulo (FAPESP), the Brazilian Astronomical Society (SAB) and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel ( CAPES).
