ATLAS has a daughter

[Ray Norris]

Dear ATLAS team

ATLAS as a project is just about complete, and yet many of us enjoy the weekly ATLAS meetings for informal discussion of science in projects such as EMU, ATLAS-SPT, and the ATCA legacy projects, and we would like to continue them

I therefore propose we change the name of the meeting.

Th best suggestion so far is MAERA. In Greek mythology, Maera was a daughter of ATLAS, and is a nymph of Sirius.
And MAERA = Meetings About Extragalactic Radio Astronomy.

You may groan at this point, and so I’m open to better suggestions.

Other suggestions so far include
SESAME = Sydney Emu Science & Astronomy MEeting (rejected because not everyone’s in Sydney)
IMAGES = Informal Meeting About Galactic & Extragalactic Science (rejected as it encompasses all of science)

BTW we plan to restart the meetings (whatever they’re called) on Tuesday 6 February.

Cheers

Ray

I quite like Maera!

Isnt quite as easy to recognise as ATLAS in terms of spelling / remembering it though (if you only hear it spoken).

Cheers
