2025 School Logistics

Further information about school logistics will be made available at to the Second Announcement in August 2024. We suggest all participants bring a laptop to the school with Slack and CASA (v5.6 or greater), the latter of which will be particularly important for the observing and data reduction sessions for the school. Virtual participants will also need to install Zoom on a locally available computer.

The Submillimeter Array Interferometry School will primarily be conducted at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory offices (shown below) in Hilo, Hawaii. The school will also involve visits to the SMA labs and Maunakea summit site.

The SAO Hilo facility is located at 645 N Aohoku Pl, Hilo, HI 96720, a 10 minute drive (50 min walk) from downtown Hilo, and a 12 min drive from Hilo International Airport.
