Spitzer Calibration Workshop
Sheraton Pasadena Hotel, Nov 8, 2004

The Spitzer Science Center is offering a
Calibration Workshop
Nov 8 2004, 9 AM to 5 PM, Magnolia Room

Attention: This workshop is over and done with. View presentations from the workshop by scrolling down.

A day-long Spitzer Calibration Workshop will be held on November 8, 2004, at the Sheraton Pasadena Hotel, in conjunction with "The Spitzer Space Telescope: New Views of the Cosmos." The goal is to bring together instrument experts, Legacy teams, and general observers, who may be attending New Views (although this is not a pre-requisite) to share information about the calibration of Spitzer data. This FREE workshop is intended to address our current state of knowledge of Spitzer calibration.

Workshop Evaluation:

Thank you for filling out our online evaluation forms. We appreciate your feedback!

Accommodations

Accommodations are available for the workshop and the conference at the the Sheraton Pasadena Hotel; please see the New Views site for more details. Workshop participants may take advantage of the reduced room rate being offered by the Sheraton Pasadena Hotel for the New Views conference. When making your reservations, you should indicate "Caltech-JPL Spitzer Conference" for the discount.
