SSC Papers & Presentations: AAS Atlanta Jan 2004

Spitzer at the AAS: January 2004

An Observation Planning Workshop was held on Sunday, Jan 4. There were talks on all three instruments.

Lisa Storrie-Lombardi gave a talk on Thursday morning entitled The Spitzer Space Telescope: Mission and Opportunties.

The poster presentations about Spitzer are posted here where available. Most (but not all) of the Spitzer posters were in session 22 on Monday, Jan. 5.
