[csp] "Radioastronomy in the VO" session at IVOA interop in October

[Mark Lacy]

Hi Bruno,

That sounds like an excellent plan, and it's good timing I will be able 
to attend the IVOA meeting in person this time. One radio astronomy 
specific thing that has come up recently in discussions of radio surveys 
is the question of how to deal with Faraday rotation measure data 
produced by rotation measure synthesis techniques, both in catalogs and 
image cubes with a rotation measure axis. So this might be an 
interesting item to add to the discussion.

Cheers,
Mark
