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
