Asteroid Radar Modeling Workshop '25

Welcome to the Asteroid Radar Modeling Workshop 2025!

The Asteroid Radar Modeling Workshop '25 (ARMW25) is a workshop that will provide the opportunity to learn the use of the tool SHAPE (Magri et al. 2007 and other references; see "Resources" page) to develop asteroid shape models from radar and other observational data. 

This workshop is organized by scientists from the University of Oviedo, and the Florida Space Institute (University of Central Florida).

The workshop will start in March, with about six virtual meetings, each of 1-2 hours, until the five-day in-person workshop. The dates and times of virtual meetings, before and after the in-person meeting, will be determined based on participant availability.

The one week in-person training is scheduled to take place May 12-16, 2025, at the University of Oviedo in Spain, with possible virtual participation.

The main objective of this workshop is for the participants to be able to create and publish a paper describing the shape model developed for a selected asteroid based on radar and other observations. The project is to be completed in the next 10-12 months.

Due to logistical constraints, the workshop organizers may need to limit the number of people who can attend. In that case, preference will be given to graduate students and postdocs who have funding that will allow them to spend about one year working on an asteroid shape modeling project.

There are no registration fees for this meeting. Please see the requirements page before registering on the link below.
