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.- Full Workshop Final Report (also available in pdf format)
