Recent research led by our astronomer @jayender_singh has changed our understanding of the Milky Way's inner structure. This part of the galaxy is notoriously hard to study, but these new insights are redefining the shape of our home galaxy:.

This announcement was made as part of our Australia Telescope User Committee open meeting, happening now.

Outgoing Chair Professor Tara Murphy was warmly thanked by ATNF Director Dr Douglas Bock, who acknowledged Professor Murphy’s strategic guidance, her insightful leadership and the rich experience using ATNF instruments she brought to the role.

Director of the ATNF, Dr Douglas Bock, said “Lister is a leader in astronomy globally. I look forward to working with him and the Steering Committee as we continue to shape the role of the ATNF and build on Australia’s Decadal Plan for astronomy.”.

Professor Lister Staveley-Smith has been appointed Chair of the #ATNF Steering Committee. The ATSC provides advice on @CSIRO's ongoing delivery of radio astronomy capabilities for the nation and appoints the ATNF user and time allocation committees.
