JWST Hands-on Workshop

JWST Hands-on Workshop

Dec 17-19, KIAA-PKU

Registration is now open for the JWST hands-on workshop to be held from Dec 17-19 at KIAA and run by Dr. Xin Wang.  A description and schedule are below.  Everyone is welcome to participate.  Participants will get the most out of the workshop if they are actively participating in the demonstrations and have some initial ideas for what they might want to do with JWST.

To register, either fill out the questionnaire (preferred) at:  https://forms.gle/5oFRFgEjQpH74moQA, or if you cannot access that site, then send an email to gherczeg1@gmail.com with name and affiliation, and I will respond with a text-based questionnaire.

Workshop Description: 

JWST will (hopefully) be launched on March 30, 2021. It will become the next generation flagship multi-purpose space telescope equipped with dazzling observational capabilities. Its spectrographs and imagers will provide data beyond those yet seen by any astronomers. However, great promise comes at the price of more difficultpre-observation planning, larger overheads, more stringent target constraints, etc. To help astronomers familiarize with the various observing modes available at JWST, and therefore write the most successful proposals, we are organizing a workshop at KIAA on Dec. 17-19, 2019. Dr. Xin Wang — one of the participants to the inaugural JWST master class, selected by STScI NASA — will offer several lectures focused on the JWST proposal planning process and lead hands-on training activities.

Logistics: 

This workshop is free, but we are unable to provide logistical support or lunches.  Any participants from out of town should find and book their own hotel.
