History of the FLS
In early 1999, SSC Director Tom Soifer (Caltech) and
Spitzer Project Scientist Mike Werner (JPL) chartered an ad hoc advisory
committee, chaired by Robert E. Williams (Space Telescope Science
Institute). The committee met on April 29-30, 1999 in Pasadena, with the
directive to consider the most appropriate response(s) of Spitzer to
the loss of WIRE.
A Community Workshop, convened by B.T. Soifer, Director of the Spitzer
Science Center (SSC), met on September 15 and 16, 1999 on
the Caltech Campus in Pasadena, CA. The co-Chairs of the Workshop were
Jim Condon (NRAO-Charlottesville) and Phil Myers (Harvard-Smithsonian
CfA). The purpose of the workshop was to formulate a scientific
definition of the Spitzer First Look Survey (FLS), in terms of
observational goals and priorities.
