EVALUATING LIGHT POLLUTION IN THE STREET:
Practical Workshop
When: Tuesday, October 9, 20:30.
Where to meet: Hotel Entrance, Avenida del Mar #1000, La Serena
Deadline to sign up: Tuesday, October 9 at noon at the registration desk.
Cost: none.
In this activity we will gather outside the conference venue for a tour around the nearby streets. With the help of Pedro Sanhueza (Director of the Oficina para la Protección de la Calidad del Cielo del Norte de Chile, OPCC), Pablo Itxaina (Director of the Laboratorio Acústica y Luminotecnia de Buenos Aires, LAL), and Guillermo Blanc (Staff Astronomer at Las Campanas Observatory), we will perform quantitative measurements of the levels of illumination in the surrounding streets, will identify examples of good and bad illumination, and will hold informal discussions about light pollution and how to control it. Registration for this activity will be open at the registration desk during Monday and Tuesday.
Chilean ALMA TAC and Observing Statistics + Discussion of Past, Present, and Future
Moderator: Franz Bauer
When: Thursday, October 11, 17:35.
Where: Elqui 1 room.
Cost: none.
The Chilean community has been participating in the international TAC process of ALMA since its inception (cycle 0-6). At the moment, Chanco and the UChile/Conicyt-Astronomy directors are currently considering whether to renew this scheme for some additional years or form a Chilean TAC. There are some clear benefits and some clear problems with the current scheme. In particular, I will present an analysis of how the Chilean proposals (and Chilean observations) have fared to date, compared to other partners, and what biases exist (there are at least a few that we know of so far). I will end with a discussion what options we have moving forward and look for community input
