  1. ANGLES School Santander What is ANGLES?

  2. ANGLES Astrophysical Network for Gravitational LEnsing Studies [Marie Curie Research Training Network] (Successor to CERES and to be funded by the EU)

  3. JBO (Co-ordinator) Cambridge JIVE + Groningen + Astron Bonn – MPI + University Heidelberg – Rechen +Potsdam Copenhagen Valencia + IAC+Cantabria UC Davis Shanghai Ian Browne, Neal Jackson, Shude Mao, Peter Wilkinson Wyn Evans, Lindsay King Mike Garrett, Leon Koopmans Richard Porcas, Peter Schneider Joachim Wamsganss, Olaf Wucknitz Jens Hjorth Jose Munoz, Evencio Mediavilla Chris Fassnacht, Lori Lubin Yipeng Jing ANGLES Partners:

  4. ANGLES Science • CDM sub-structure in lensing galaxies • Lens radial mass profiles • Evolution of lensing galaxies • Microlensing to study compact objects in the dark haloes of galaxies. • N-body simulations of lensing galaxies to compare with observations. • Microlensing in our Galaxy and galactic dynamics • The Hubble constant from time delays, plus mass modelling • Propagation effects – scattering, free-free absorption, Faraday rotation/depolarization, absorption lines. • Develop an optical/IR spectrograph for VLT and explore techniques for future lens searches

  5. What do we get from the EU? • Seven 3-year studentships – 2 for JBO • Six 2-year postdocs • 4-years money for networking, organizing workshops and summer schools, etc. • Networking funds are for all the collaborating individuals, not just the students and postdocs paid by the Network.

  6. Status of ANGLES • Started April 1, 2004 and formally ends March 31, 2008. • We have been allocated 2.42€ million. • Have appointed 5 of the 7 students (tell your friends that there may be places going in Bonn and Heidelberg). • We are advertising for postdocs. Closing date December 15. • There will be 3 more schools and several workshops/network meetings

  7. Golden Rules • Do good science and enjoy it – the network is yours. • Never refuse an opportunity to buy a drink for the coordinator. • Acknowledge ANGLES on any paper you write.
