Instructions

All

Please always comply with the code of conduct: https://nustar.github.io/nustar2022/ethics.html

A certificate of attendance will be automatically sent to all participants within 10 days after the Conference.

Slack and social media:

Please join our NuSTAR 2022 Slack space where we can exchange ideas, discuss about the talks, and more. You should have received an invitation by mail. For astro Tweeps out there: we also have an official Twitter handle (@10YearsOfNuSTAR). Follow it and tweet at will, using the hashtag #NuSTARX.

Electronic posters

In addition to having physical poster space available at Teatro Doglio, we will also be hosting posters online to enable participation of our virtual attendees, and a vertical screen showing the electronic posters at the venue. This will be conducted in two ways:

  1. An upload of the poster to Zenodo, so that it will be accessible
  2. A Slack thread for your poster, so you can take comments from the virtual participants

The latter will be set up once the conference gets underway, but please upload to Zenodo as soon as your poster is finalized. Note that this will be a permanent record, including with a DOI. Instructions for uploading to Zenodo are below.

Posters can be uploaded through this link: https://zenodo.org/deposit/new?c=nustar-10-years-sardinia. If you do not have a Zenodo account, please set one up. You then need only to upload the poster, fill out the information, and then submit it. Make sure to set the Upload type to “Poster.” A worked example is shown in the attached image, for your reference. Upon submission, we will be alerted and will approve your submission; if you have a problem with this process, please contact Thomas Connor (thomas.p.connor@jpl.nasa.gov).
