The fourth anniversary of the Athena community office

On 22nd June 2016, the Athena Community Office (ACO) was officially presented at the premises of the Instituto de Física de Cantabria (IFCA). Over these four years, the office has become a focal point to facilitate the scientific exchange between the Athena activities and the scientific community and to disseminate the Athena science objectives to the general public.

We would like to remind you that on this web portal you can find the latest news and activities of the project including the regular Athena newsletters that are archived here. Among the resources, you can also find the Athena nuggets, presentations or publications related to the project. On the outreach menu, we offer material to disseminate the project among the public.

To celebrate the fourth anniversary, we have prepared the release of several artistic images of the mission based on the telescope layout of the X-IFU movies, which are accessible in the Athena gallery here. We kindly invite the community to use them in their activities related to the project, always following the Terms and Conditions.

The ACO is always opened to new ideas or suggestions to disseminate the project. If you have in mind any project and need help, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanks for your support during these four years and we hope to celebrate as many as the IFCA that it is celebrating its 25th anniversary this same month!
