EURECA
Early Universe/REionization Conversations at Arizona
EURECA aims to bring together the community of
Steward Observatory and NOIRLab researchers working at high
redshift in an informal venue for conversation. Topics include,
but are not limited to, high redshift galaxies, high redshift
AGN and quasars, reionization, and relevant observational and
technical tools.
EURECA is organized by
Jackie Champagne
(jbchampagne@arizona.edu),
Jake Helton
(jakobhelton@arizona.edu),
and Lily Whitler
(lwhitler@arizona.edu)
from Steward Observatory. Meetings typically occur biweekly on
Fridays at 10am MST in a hybrid form in Steward Observatory
room N305 and on Zoom, but please see our schedule below in
case of any changes. If you would like to be added to the
mailing list, receive Zoom connection information, or lead a
EURECA meeting, please reach out to the organizers!
The organizers of EURECA are committed to facilitating a positive and
constructive environment for scientific discussion. By participating
in EURECA, you agree to adhere to our
Goals and Code of Conduct.
