Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the Advanced Spectral-Timing, Polarimetry, and
High-Resolution Spectroscopy X-ray School for Latin America (ASTRAL-X),
which will take place in the National University of La Plata, Argentina,
from December 1 to 12, 2025.

The ASTRAL-X School is part of a series of Workshops supported by the IAU
Hands-on (I-HOW) and the COSPAR Capacity Building programmes, and a unique
opportunity for students and early-career researchers from Latin America to
dive deep into the multidimensional aspects of X-ray astrophysics.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge instruments
and techniques shaping the future of research areas, from stellar compact
objects and supernova remnants to active galactic nuclei and galaxy
clusters, including high-resolution spectra with the XRISM mission,
advanced timing studies with the NICER instrument, X-ray polarimetry with
the IXPE satellite, and hard X-rays with the NuSTAR observatory. In
addition, the School will offer lectures covering essential topics such as
X-ray astrophysics, high-energy radiative processes, and machine learning
tools.

The ASTRAL-X School will be held at the Karakachoff Building of the
National University of La Plata (UNLP), in Argentina, providing a
stimulating academic environment and the opportunity to engage with
internationally recognised, leading researchers. The School will host more
than 30 participants from Latin America, including advanced Master’s
(Licenciatura) students, PhD students and postdocs, and early-career
researchers.

The School has no Registration Fee. All selected non-local participants
will be fully accommodated at the AMAU Hotel (UNLP) at no charge. Meals
will be fully covered for all the selected participants. Travel expenses
will only be partially covered in particular cases.

We warmly invite you to explore the School’s program, list of Lecturers,
and Application guidelines on our website:
https://congresos.unlp.edu.ar/astralx/. The Registration deadline is July
31st.

Please share this announcement with students and colleagues interested in
high-energy astrophysics. We look forward to receiving applications from
motivated candidates across Latin America.

With kind regards,

Federico García, Jorge Combi (IAR-UNLP) and Javier García (NASA) on behalf
of the
ASTRAL-X Organizing Committees
