The Nancay Radio Observatory has a long-standing tradition of solar observations. It hosts two major instruments that are involved in contemporary solar research: the Decametric Spectrograph provides sensitive spectra of bursts at long metre wavelengths, while the Radioheliograph is dedicated to imaging at metre wavelengths. There is extensive experience on interferometric observations of the Sun.
Nancay Observatory is located about 200 km south of Paris, in central France. See the web site for more details:
Most participants will be hosted at the Centre Regional Jeunesse et Sports (CRJS) in Salbris, about 15 km from the Observatory. The web site (in French only) is
A number of double-bed rooms and three-bed rooms has been reserved for 23 participants, from Sunday evening 19 September to Saturday 24 September in the morning.
A bus will bring participants to Nancay in the morning and back to Salbris in the early evening.
Salbris and Nancay can be reached by car from Paris, within a little less than 2 hours. The CRJS is located close to the Salbris railway station. The train travel time from Paris is variable (around 2 hours), depending on the connection in or near Orleans. The price is about 25 Euros (one way).
