Topic: instrumentation

The society’s annual meeting spans solar and planetary research, exoplanets and astrobiology, stellar populations and interstellar chemistry, high-energy phenomena, galaxies and cosmology. Instrumentation, data science and astronomy education are also represented. The event is hosted jointly by IIT (BHU) and BHU and is held entirely in person. Eligible participants include society members and researchers or students in astronomy and related subjects affiliated with educational or research institutions.

Supports fundamental physics through atomic, molecular and optical science; nuclear and particle physics; gravitation; plasma physics; living systems; quantum information; instrumentation and related programmes. Proposals are accepted at any time, with programme-specific target dates for review. Funding levels and duration vary; the solicitation does not promise a fixed individual award. Investigators should contact the relevant programme about overlapping proposals or existing Physics awards.
